how do i get rid of my bipolar/autistic rage?

[funnybird333]

i almost destroyed my whole entire home and everything in it because my mom pressured me to put on different clothes. i just dont know how to handle that part of me i take 5 mg zyprexa and it helps calm me down little bit

is this an autistic trait to have this rage if someone pressures u to do something?

i felt like i was being forced and disrespected.

i have destroyed my home before and dont want my parents to go trough hell again

Taking a slow approach to managing feelings of anger and rage could come from working with a therapist or counselor. This could include family therapy where you and your family members learn better ways to communicate with each other. It might also help to speak to others who have a similar diagnosis in group therapy or a peer support group.

Based on what you described, it seems like speaking to your prescribing doctor would be a good place to start to discuss adjusting your medication and finding more support.

In addition to having the medication, do you currently
consult with some kind of psychotherapist/counselor on
a regular basis?

Not all psychologists are born equal, so to speak. If you think that your current therapist is not helping you, my advice is to start looking for a new one.

I had problems with rage as a young adult. I had no particular resources at that time. What I did was a physically restrained myself. Get in bed. Wrap my arms around my body. Wrap my legs around and around as far as I could and just hang on until it passes.

I continued to have quite a bit of anger when the state denied services for a client. I would stamp around my office or home and carry on a monologue about how stupid they were. After a while, it was clear that wasn't helping. So I mostly gave it up and put the energy into advocacy.

Dismiss negative thoughts. Let them pass. Ride out the overflow of energy, focus on soothing feelings and where it is in the body. Never act on these feelings, no good ever comes of it, you are temporarily insane. This is the danger time where one can burn bridges, harm ourselves and others and generally get in trouble. Cue humiliating grovelling.

When you drop a stone in a pond, the ripples spread out, loose energy, and eventually the pond is still again.
It's the same with your moods, without fail. When you are calm once again, you can respond and not react.

I do agree that finding a good person to talk to makes a huge difference. In terms of whether that anger is an autistic thing, I would say it can be. Sensory issues, processing issues, social issues, dealing with the realities of living in a world that doesn't like autistic people--so many things can contribute to our rage I can remember growing up feeling so angry about minutia, it would seem like I was falling apart at times over the smallest things, and like whatever was consuming me at the moment was the only reality and it would never go away...then 30 minutes later I would be having dinner or playing a video game and it would be like nothing happened. But then I would have to deal with the fallout.. Your basic autistic meltdown. . ....and usually behind it there was some kind of sensory things or social things that contributed to it....so it is most important to find ways to be quiet and alone. I don't know about others, but I will say I've gotten better at dealing with rage over the years, but that doesn't mean it's not there.

From my experience is to be mindful what you put into your mouth. Medication can't do the work for you. I'm not trying to be mean it's just a crutch. There was a guy I dealt with on social media. The guy went crazy when he didn't get attention from me. He is on medication too, anti depressants and mood stabilizers. You can't tell from his video he is angry but he projected his emotion onto me. He really hates people because nobody other one other person wants to be his friend.
Eating fruits and vegetables along with other non processed foods. Take notes what you eat and how you feel. This might show you if certain foods is linked to your mental health.

You know. I haven't thought about this video in a long time. This is could have some potential use to you.

But the medication side of this is a potential consurn too. There is plenty of medications that can actually make things worse for you. In most cases. We are medicating ourselves in response to human responses. Trying to push away what we'd rather not face. But hiding it and pushing it away only make what we feel stronger.

Anger is a emotion that you need to kind of work thru. Acknowledge that something triggered you , then feel that anger, then breath slowly, release all that anger, just sit and wait till it passes. Then think back and identify what pushed you there. The next time that trigger happens, you can think, yes, that upsets me, l need to grab a place to sit down and work thru this anger until l feel under control. Sometimes l leave the situation, sometimes l sit with the anger and then let it go
