    Hi Steph, I haven't experienced anger as you describe it, but I have had periods when I have just felt on the edge and the desire to scream at my husband for doing absolutely nothing. I have always managed to contain it so far but it scares the hell out if me. Between that and intrusive thoughts I'm not quite sure which is worse!

      Thank you it is really scary I feel like somebody has taken over me I sit down after or when I'm calm and think where did that come from or why did I overreact like that I too feel like screaming at my partner im doing his head in to be honest but I'm trying to control it maybe it is my period messing me up xx

    I can sympathize with this because I have had difficulty managing anger due to anxiety. I found CBT very helpful, which I arranged through my GP. Good luck.

      We get angry partly because of thoughts of which we're not fully aware: 'You're criticizing me', 'You're blaming me', 'It's not fair', and CBT can heelp us become aware of these patterns of thought and perhaps unpick them.

    I actually tend to find when i scream into a pillow my anxoety eases slightly but then i pay for it after when the anger is gone. Very scary indeed. Im hopeful cbt can help. When it involves being angry at someone else i tend to leave the situatio and calm myself down. I tend also to dwell on that but recently i have tried to get the thoughts out pf the way before i get angry. I put ear phones i and listen to me happy music if there is such music lol. 70s-80s does me and then chillax. No fun this anxiety but im really starting to think of charging it rent if it persists on staying wih me lmao.
