I am scared for my family

Postby Pinkbabydoll » Mon Dec 05, 2005 12:11 am

I really dont know what is happening to me. In the space of five months I have become out of control.
It is like there is a switch in my head. My dad only has to try and talk to me when i am reading and I will beat him up. I am a 17 year old girl. I should not have this type of anger.
It all started when my boyfriend of 3 years left me for another woman, he was a lot older than me, and I thought everything was fine. I fell into deep depression. He also was emotionally and physically abusing me.
Since then I have seen him and his new girlfriend and beaten them to the extent that it took seven adults to pull me off these two fully grown adults. I didnt even remember hardly any of the fight the next morning, all I knew was that it happened.
I flip at everything, I am worried for my parents or my sister, there are times I get so angry I want to kill myself or them and sometimes have to use every inch of my being not to take a knife and finish myself off.
Help me please, I just dont want to be angry anymore. :(

Hi Pinkbabydoll

Welcome to the forum and sorry you have been waiting a while for a response.

It sounds like a very traumatic situation for both you and your family at present and from what you say your anger started as a result of depression following your relationship break-up. Some people with depression withdraw into themselves, while others can react with anger. It might help your understanding of depression if you have a read of the Depression Learning Path.

The important point is that you recognise and have admitted you have a problem and want some help. I would advise you to speak to your doctor in the first instance and ask for a referral to see a therapist for some help with this.

Learning how to relax when you feel the anger building is a really useful tool too and there are many ways to start practising this, either through use of a relaxation CD, self-hypnosis, yoga or meditation, for example.

Let us know how you get on.
