I was discharged from the U.S. military on June 27, 2007. Since then, I've gained 20 lbs, never in a good mood, and I have these rage swings. I almost crushed my sister's Chihuaha's neck because of this. It's only through bare restraint that I've held it together. Is there a reason I feel like ****?

PTSD hun...get to a doctor, and get some help...you know you don't want to harm anyone, but maybe you feel like you are worthless, from all the liberal bs being spread on T.V...I love the military, and we honor and respect, and appreciate what you have done for this country...we would be nothing without our military...ignore the liberals who are on the side of terrorists, and get some help before you really explode...God Bless you honey, and ask God through Jesus to help you cope...you will be fine..

There is a reason for this. You need to talk with a doctor, and sooner is better than later.
Firstly, you could have a hypermetabolic disorder (your body is running too fast) such as hyperthyroidism. This will make you want to wring the necks of all those stupid people who just don't get it.
Next, you ought to think back on your military experience. Were you in combat? Were you in stressfull situations? If the answer is "yes", or stronger, then you may have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It is real.
If you were exposed to certain chemicals either during warfare or working in the military, you may be having a reaction to them.
Next, there could be an organic brain disorder that is causing this.
Bottom line is see your doctor. If the VA one doesn't cut it, then a private one. You are describing a serious imbalance problem.
Your rage and being ready to crush the poor little Chihuahua is not the disorder, it is your brain's method of accomodating the disorder. What is wrong runs deeper than a bad mood.

Get a grip! If you have been through the military you know there is no one else who is going to step in and take over for you. You are it. Stop chugging down food to deal with your emotions..it is not the magic pill and it does not produce good results. Stop losing your temper over things you can not change with anger. You know there is only one thing that will work. Get on with it. Its about feeling like you don't have a say in what is happening to you. Wake up. You are in charge. It's your ball park, you own the bat the Ball 1st 2ND and third base. Get motivated and do something with your angry self.

I think you already know the answers to your questions. What did you do in the military? Where were you stationed? Were you in combat? If so, you may be suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. Are you receiving treatment through the VA? If not, you probably should be. Good luck.

Yeah, there's a reason and you need to see a psychiatrist to find out why! Next time you may crush some Person's neck! Cruelty to animals is a sign of serial killers. You don't want to get worse! Get help NOW!

Sounds like you got a very serious problem. Please...seek medical help before it is too late. Next time it might not be an animals neck you attack, might actually be a human.
You did your duty in fighting, in military, but, you are no longer in that situation now, please get help for yourself so you can enjoy life!

It seems like your life is not the same without the military, its like you're having withdrawl symptoms. You might need to seek counseling to get this internal problem and the negative energy that comes from it healed.

it could be that you feel wronged being discharged on terms you do not agree with. the posttrumaic syndrome is a very good possibility. you need to seek help with a professional, this isn't something that you can just wake up one day and it will be gone.

Maybe you should let go of some things like your past and start with a fresh new start, kind of like a new semester in school, or a brand new $100,000 car. Or just release your stress by yelling at defenseless childrren, or punching your teachers. It works wonders for me!

The veterans hospital has a program available for this condition. Is universally available presently. It has proven quite effective for the condition you describe. Should check into it and see where you can attend the course.
