Anger

NAS81145

Hi everyone 

I have a problem with Emotional Dysregulation, I get stuck on negative emotions especially Anger, I'm easily triggered over the smallest of things to the point I can scare people around me when I have an outburst.

I'm just wondering what causes others to get Angry especially full on outbursts and what does it look like when it happens 

Many thanks

  • I'm over sensitive and tend to over react to everything that happens in my life. I have positive over reactions to positive events and negative over reactions to negative events. Most of the time these over reactions come in the form of thoughts, but if enough negative things happen in a day I can end up wanting to throw stuff at the wall (I used to throw things at the wall but in recent years I've noticed that I have a limited ability to restrain myself during an outburst).

    To try and get myself out of a negative mood I usually make some comfort food, but if I mess up making the comfort food, I end up punching myself in the head, telling myself how much of a worthless failure I am, and suggesting that I should take my own life.

  • I found a solution for anger

    I convinced myself, that I'll never respond inkind, to something that is a bad thing to do

    Just because others do it, it doesn't mean I have to, so I choose I won't

  • I think that for autistics we do not recognise that frustration and anger are building up until it is too late and we explode. I explode, thankfully not often. I believe that it is quite frightening to witness. Once, when my then teenage daughter was being very disrespectful to her mother, I exploded and I'm sad to say that my daughter was so frightened by my rage that it took a good few days for her to trust me again. On the plus side the anger outburst is very short and I do not sulk or bear grudges.
