Kind of 'vague' anger, shortness with people sign of low-cort? - Intermittant Explosive Disorder/Road Roage

[Guest guest]

Is a symtom of low cortisol and it's low stress-tolerance a kind

of " vague anger " - not directed AT anything, but just a general

" anger at the world " ? (perhaps working up the brain in an attempt to

generate ACTH?) And being unusually short and impatient with people?

Could this have anything to do with road rage and 'intermittant

explosive disorder' - people are just passive in a way because they

have AF (perhaps some kind of coping mechanism - trying to ignore

stressors) - until they just can't do it anymore and snap.

Tghis is more likely to be form excess adrenaline.

Yes, definitely! For years I have struggled with impatience and easy

anger and then with having an eight year old, most of her young

childhood I suffered with feelings (and some experssions) of total

rage. People say, " take a breath, calm down " etc., but I always felt

like I just had no time before I was gone to take that breath. My

poor daughter. (I never crossed the line to physical abuse, but I sure

came close). I started on HC about 5-6 months ago and it has been life

changing for me. I am calm, I am patient, I can address my daughter's

misbehavior and irritating behaviors with objectivity (it's just HER

being mad after all...lol). It is AMAZING. And my relationship with

her is improving so much. Now the only time I feel myself reverting

back is PMS time when I usually have a day or two of feeling as I used

to (by the way I also regularly had suicidal thoughts) and I hate it.

My guess is that millions of misbehaving kids, abusive parents, and

also criminals are suffering from adrenal burn-out. (not to say ALL of

them, nor that they are not still responsible for their actions!) The

other connection is food sensitivities...which can be the cause of the

stress on the adrenals in the first place. I just found out that my

daughter and I are both gluten and casein sensitive. And i've also

figured out that my mom was probably also celiac (died of cancer a few

years ago) her whole life and we never knew--she also was full of

anger and rage/impatience--now I know why (who needed all that

psychotherapy? we just needed HC!)

Too bad there's like next to NO really good books out there on this

topic.

I definitely identify with this. My daughter was a placid child but

my son was hyperactive and at times I had to leave the room otherwise

I would have killed him. Fortunately I had a warning sign that I was

going to lose it, when I started clenching my teeth then I knew I

would do him harm if I didn't get some distance between us. I feel

sorry for the people who just blow their top without any warning sign

that it's going to happen.
