I understand how difficult this must be for you. From what you shared, it seems like your anger and emotions are very overwhelming and connected to painful memories from childhood. This is not your fault, and it shows you have been carrying this for a long time.
You are not “mental” – what you are going through can happen to many people who have had trauma or stress. The good news is that with the right help, these emotions can be managed.
Next Steps
• Please meet a psychiatrist or a clinical psychologist as soon as possible. They can help you with both therapy (like anger management, trauma-focused counseling) and, if needed, safe medications to reduce emotional outbursts.
• Practice calming methods like deep breathing, grounding techniques, writing your feelings in a diary, or physical exercise whenever you feel anger rising.
• Talk openly with one trusted family member or friend so you don’t feel alone.
• If at any time you feel like hurting yourself, please immediately reach out to a doctor, helpline- TELEMANAS 14416 or go to the nearest emergency.

Hello ma'am
As you mentioned above issues you are undergoing
It seems the personality as an individual you have developed is such and is due to your childhood experiences
And that personality of yours makes you soo short tempered that you don't think before reacting and later regrets the same
Now the good part is that is can be healed completely, just some counselling/ therapy and if required a short course of medical treatment so as to have faster recovery
Next Steps
kindly consult online for further management and treatment

Hi
Thank you for sharing so honestly it takes courage to admit what you’re going through. From what you describe, it sounds like your anger isn’t just about the present but deeply connected to childhood trauma that hasn’t healed yet. That’s why you experience sudden outbursts, hurting yourself, and then crying afterwards it’s your mind and body releasing old pain in ways that feel uncontrollable. Feeling “afraid of yourself” shows how much distress this is causing you, but it also means you’re aware and want to change which is a very important first step.
The good news is, therapy can help you regain emotional balance. In CBT and trauma-focused work, we use techniques to identify triggers, release suppressed emotions safely, and build anger regulation skills so that you don’t hurt yourself or others. We’d also work on your underlying trauma so that the old pain doesn’t keep fueling these reactions. You’re not mentalyou’re struggling with unresolved pain that’s showing up as emotional storms. With the right help, you can learn to manage anger in healthier ways and stop being afraid of yourself.
Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
