  • Hiya

    As with most of us, it sounds like your fight-or-flight system is stuck on 99.9% so you're on a hair-trigger for an adrenaline rush if you get a tiny bit of extra stimulation.    That will cause a Hulk-like response - Hulk Smash!

    What do you do to vent your energy?     Do you run or ride a bike?      You need to dissipate the Hulk within.

  • Sounds like you might suffer with heightened anxiety like myself..

    I find myself being aggressive when Im anxioius, stressed or having sensory overload..

    If my neighbours play music to loud I start screaming at them..

    Needless to say it doesnt help because they have all retaliated and cannot understand the problems it is causing me..

    I have been self injourous when I feel like no one will want to listen to my problems/ issues caused by my anxiety and autism..

    Maybe you may need to look into weather different light/Sound /Textures/or environments cause you to feel this way and take precautionary measures..

    An Occupational Therapist who deals with Autism may also be able to help..

    I was given advice to use weighted blankets., gym ball, huggie top for social anxiety in busy places, special ear plugs that cancel out loud noise but keeps an audilbe comortable sound, different clothes due to irritation by textures and be tested for Irlen Syndrome and be provided glasses for people with lightwave sensitivity..

    Sometimes it can be something as simple at changing the type of lighting in your environment..

    Hope you will find what you need soon..

    I how how hard it is to ask for help
