Question Posted Monday September 26 2005, 12:00 am
I was just wondering if i'm like mentally okay. I'm like super sound sensitive as in i can hear alot of noises and all but i'll focus in on one and it'll start to really annoy me. Then i'll start getting mad all of a sudden and it'll bother me even more. The same is when people move alot or scratch or anything it bothers me so much i get like steaming mad. I also have really bad mood swings. My family gives me a hard time about them but i can't control them. I just get mad and all. Is there something wrong??? No stupid answers plz. I'll rate high for good ones. Thanks.

Since this issue is affecting your normal everyday life, I'd recommend that you setup an appointment with a psychologist and let a professional help you resolve this (doesn't mean that you're crazy, but you don't remove your own cavities either).

zapreth answered Monday September 26 2005, 10:09 am: I have the same problem. In my case it turned out to be anxiety attacks. The doctor put me on Prozac and I stopped wanting to rip people apart. Alot of people think that Panic attacks/ anxiety attacks mean you get really scared and want to run. This is not true. What happens is your body prepares for the fight or flight response you hear about in science class. People like us go fight, get aggressive and prepare to protect ourselves by attacking. What makes this such a problem is that we aren't in a situation that requires us to fight. We over-react. The good thing is that you recognize that you are over-reacting. Tell your doctor. You will not believe the improvement in your life. [ zapreth's advice column | Ask zapreth A Question ]

LadyGoodman answered Monday September 26 2005, 12:49 am: If you have anger management problems, you might have a personality disorder such as Borderline. I suggest you ask your family to get you to a therapist or a psychologist rather than waste their time getting mad at you for it. It's always nice to have an unbiased professional help you out.
