Agression?!! Need Help...
Thanks for posting the question, Fuzzywuzzy, and thanks for the cool and detailed reply as always, DxE.
I sound a lot like you in basic personality, Fuzzy. I'm going through a lot of the same stuff. I certainly don't have all, or even a majority, of the 10 symptoms on DxE's list. In fact, I have the opposite of a lot of them, I have a whole lot of energy and enthusiasm for things I haven't been doing for a few years now.
But, I sure do have a hair trigger when it comes to people irritating me, especially at home. I just keep telling them that they shouldn't take it personally when I snap at them, and that it will not last forever.
Did anyone ever see the 'King of the Hill' episode a few years back when Hank Hill had 'Irritable Male Syndrome' from low testosterone levels, and Peggy Hill was doping him up without his knowing it. It was pretty funny, but there was a whole lot of truth in it, and it relates right back to what DxE said.
Ah, this too shall pass.
Hey Fuzzy,
I got in some anger management counseling after WLS as I was flippin' going bonkers with increased aggression. The answer for me (and I know this ain't scientific) was exercise. For example, prior to every marriage counseling session, I would go to the gym and work my ass off. As a result, I would get less stressed and angry as we talked about how rotten of a person I was.
So, if I feel like I'm totally pissed off or stressed out of my gourd, I'll frickin punch out 50 pushups or ride my bike or hit the gym. Works for me although sometimes I feel pretty weird doing pushups in my office after a particularly difficult meeting. I do close the door though.....

not to worry. at some point each of us kicked our own asses then took ourselves out to dinner. raging hormones are part of the package. just last night we were hiking with the dogs and friends in the canyon. a nightly ritual. our puppy ran off and right into the face of a rottweiller with his owners and their baby. i yelled so hard at him to come back it scared everyone around me! being a good boy he returned but everyone looked at me liked i whipped it out or something. i'm very quite too and when they heard me yell like that it freaked them out. so i guess our tempers and such are just on the surface waiting to burst. i'm unbalanced now and qualify as a psycho as you probably already guessed......carbonblob
Hey Fuzzy, You're 5 months out so my best guess would be you can no longer use food to keep your spontaneous emotions "controlled." I bet the exercise and cold shower helped more than you think 'cause you're still employeed and you didn't kick anybody's a$$. I think coming on this board and ranting is an excellent stop-gap measure. If you continue to be troubled, see a counselor (don't rely on your doc or psychiatrist, see a real counselor who has had some training in psychotherapy). Jack-up your exercise regimen. I love a speed bag and a body bag. Anyway, glad you are keeping it together.

I always found that whenever I felt like kickin' somebody's azz if someone bigger, stronger, madder or meaner came along and kicked my azz, my azz-kickin' desire just seemed to fade away for quite a while.
Being the kickee rather than the kicker seems to have a way of doing that.
