I'm the type who, when enraged, turns into a sobbing infant--the tears just start and don't stop. I feel powerless and overwhelmed by the anger. I get rageful and say stupid things and when alone, I have sometimes thrown things or torn things up or slammed things, etc. I am the loss of control you gals fear! And I withdraw, because of the fear stirred up by the loss of control--I am afraid my rage will destroy me and the world.
This doesn't happen often, but it does happen in situations where I feel I am being treated unjustly, or feel helpless or powerless.
I don't stay in anger very long. Shortly, the anger shifts into shutdown mode/depression. Sometimes it is bypassed altogether--gears just slip and go right into depression.
