I'm in the process of finding out what exactly is going on in my mind and in my body. I just realized that there are times when I have a panic attack, whether small or full-blown, that I feel like hurting myself or others around me physically.

Panic attack sometime can cause what you're experiencing, but this generally link to anxiety and depression... these three kind of go hand in hand. I briefly read your journal and it seems you've going though some family issues...which may cause you to store in some angry issue.. which can dictate your feelings when you're having an attack.. It's not good to bottle things up.. and you being Asian.. part of your trait :) I think it is best to visit your doctor and talk about your symptoms and you might have to go on medication for awhile until your brain chemistry gets back to normal.

You're going to be okay! :)
