Xara - how do you handle the type of anger that needs a release RIGHT NOW? I do not get physically violent or into an absolute rage, but I will suddenly react to something someone says and feel such an intensity that something has to escape right then. It can't wait until I go to the keyboard or shower or home to beat on a pillow. Now. And it is usually out of proportion to what reaction should normally be taking place. What do you do when something needs to burst out NOW and you can't just shelve it for later? (p.s. I am diagnosed atypical bipolar.)
