What makes you tick? What makes you so mad that tears start streaming down your face? What makes you want to rip heads off of the shoulders of people? What makes you want to shout so loud that the world can hear only you?

Now, what do you do when your at your emotional breaking point? Do you punch things? Do you cry? Do you write? Etc.

Why?

Sorry if I'm being nosy, I'm just curious.

Right, you've never been angry before?

@ lisa-t19- I admit, I am young. But, I have been told I have a very mature mind. I do not break down b/c someone gives me a lame answer or b/c I got offended online. I don't even breakdown when people throw peanuts at me and condemn me to hell. I do breakdown when all hell breaks loose. And, you aren't very mature or anything along those lines. Just b/c I'm young doesn't mean I don't know what goes on in the world, or what true pain is. Young people can feel the same as older people.
And, how did you get the idea that I had anger issues?

What makes me mad is ignorance that causes harm to others. Usually, when this occurs, I first try to locate the cause, and then I try to identify why it's a problem; afterwards, I either resolve to avoid causing problems like that, or prevent others from starting to.

Failing that, I write, and hope that someone will get the message some day...

Up until about a year or two ago, I'd get that angry, put a pillow up against the wall of my apartment, and scream into it while beating the crap out of the wall (yes, the pillow was necessary, partly because of neighbors and noise issues, partly because where I live currently, the walls are either painted steel or cinderblocks....hand-breaking stuff, in other words). I usually had a radio or boombox turned on fairly loud too to cover it up.

But, I've had some problems lately, these past couple of years especially. And to keep a long story *very* short....I no longer feel safe anywhere, not even in my own home. So I have no outlets for my emotions. Which is BAD when you have a mood disorder, some post-traumatic stress issues, and can't get the system to work with you to save your life.

So now....I'm having to suck it all down, way the hell harder than usual. I can't cry anymore because a previous bout of medication wrecked my tear glands and they no longer work right. Half the people in my building currently are either ghetto, psycho or both, so I have to keep it quiet.

If it weren't for my therapist increasing the appointment frequency from twice a month to *weekly* I'd be dead already, and as it is, I am spacing out and/or dissociating way the hell too much.

Point is, I have no release. NONE. Just something to consider the next time you want to hate on me with the Thumbs Down crap.

As for what makes me "tick"? Mainly frustration, which leads to despair...seems like I have one of those lives wherein *nothing works* no matter how I try. Also, I get a fair bit of rejection from other people (I'm a bit geeky, smart, chubby and plain-looking...not a good combo) which leads to a fair bit of lonliness.

And that is about it. ^_^ I could go on further, but frankly, I already have, and I get tired of typing the same rants over and over again. Really, look up some of my Best Answers, some of the longer ones and some of the ones from *this* Category, Psychology, or the Mental Health one.

Thanks for your time, and sorry to go on so.....^_^ Take care and stay safe.

@Wolfman, you are a monster, a white boy, and have no clue how the real world is like. And you, as a white boy, will never get laied cause you dont understand what pain is. Egotistical white boy.

What makes me tick, is when im treated as a useless, stupid @ss person, and just someone to blame. No, im not stupid, i get 78 average on report card, but when you got a sister geting scolerships, a bro with 90 average, cousins with scolerships, you get looked down uppon as a dumb @ss. A lot too. You get 89 mark, your proud, show it to your parents, and they say "so what"
Also, since im the king of bad luck, i lose a lot of stuff, and eventually i lose somthing REALLY important. im doing a contest, and im 1 number away from winning.

Now, when im at a emotional breaking point, i dont do anyting. i can control them, unlike others who cant.

You are either pretty young or have an anger problem. Every one gets angry. But to be at an emotional breaking point it has to be something seriously bad, not like anyone giving you a crap answer or anything like that on here should reduce you to that
