I used to be a cutter for many years. I've had depression/anxiety/panic disorder/bipolar 2? since age 12 (11 years ago). I am on medication that has reduced suicidal urges and controlled my symptoms to some extent. My doctor says I don't need any medication changes.
But lately, I've been having outbursts of rage. I generally don't take it out on anybody. I just have to scream and punch my pillows. Sometimes I run out of the house, down the street, and curl up in the grass, hidden from the world. I often punch the walls, cabinets, doors, etc. At times like this, my family can't say anything to help.
I usually take a Klonopin, and eventually it starts to help me calm down. About a half hour after it begins, it's over. And I feel normal again. Any advice on how to stop this from getting out of control? My psychiatrist says I have all of the right meds and dosages. What else can I do?
