Anger management: Everyone feels anger. How we express or act upon those feelings is something we learn, can modify and have some choice about. If your anger is causing injury to yourself or others, it's time to get counseling from someone skilled in anger management.

Doc time: In controlled outbursts like that can lead to worse, more dangerous behavior. Please see a doctor asap.

You better see a Physician soon, before you get out of control and hurt yourself & others. If I knew, who you are & where you are, I will the Police for your Safety & also of the Public.
