Hi everyone!
Just wondering what other people due to control episodes of sever anger and rage.
I know about meditation and thinking happy thoughts..... but it isn't working for me.
I can't ever sleep right now because I amm so pissed off! I feel like I want to punch the wall.
I absolutely hate feeling this way.

Oh, Little Bear!!! I'm so very sorry!! I deal with this any time I have brain inflammation! For me it has happened when I started or raised my dose of immune support, and when I started or raised my dose of Japanese knotweed. Lots of detoxing, and raising my dose of turmeric (adding freshly ground pepper to it too), ginger, and quercetin helped to bring it back down fairly quickly. Do you have some anti-inflammatories you can take? Also, when my levels of rage get high enough, I actually need to get physical about it. It's a horrible feeling, like someone has taken over your body!! But, I do things to help release that anger too, as I know it's not the 'real me'. Things like punching pillows might be helpful, even if it does sound and feel a little silly at first! I would go out and split firewood (even in the rain, LOL!), or take a large tree branch that had fallen, and used it to beat on the trees if nothing else would work! Of course, I'm suggesting things you can do inside - the neighbors gave me funny looks for a while! LOL! But, it got me through, and it's no big deal - I wasn't beating on their trees at least!! LOL!

O I hate when I get into lyme rage! I go and occupy my mind with things I like to do. I painted my back deck! I did a rose garden this year for my hubby. I use to crochet, but my hands don't like doing it anymore. I HATE THAT! That was my favorite thing to do. I will pull my hair and yell outside, yes my neighbors wonder about me at times. I go weed or pick some flowers. I will clean or brush my doggies, I cleaned my shed out! giggle, I go on a cleaning spree. Or just go visit the horses at Assateague or a drive down the back roads. Anything to redirect my rage. There r times I sit and talk to my dog and bitch about it. I diffidently dont talk to humans or go where they r at!

Hi Traveler!-
Thank You for your response!
I am currently taking nothing for treatment, but I still am detoxing. I am waiting for test results to come back for mold toxins in my body. When I get the results, hopefully I will know what to due next for treatment.
I still am taking A-Inflam daily for inflammation.
YES!!!!! That is exactly how I feel! I want to throw, kick, or hit something! Unfortunately, I live very close to neighbors, or else I would be outside screaming and beating the bark off the trees in my yard during these episodes.
Usually, I struggle with severe fatigue daily, but when these episodes of rage hit me, I feel like I turn into the Incredible Hulk.
I have punched my pillow in the past, But last night I was unable to because my husband was sleeping. Our house is small, so I have to be very quiet when I sit in the living room when I have insomnia or other issues that won't let me sleep.
Thank You!

Thank you for sharing all the things that you do to try and control your rage episodes. I would love to find a hobby, but most of the time I struggle with a lot of fatigue.
I am sorry to hear that you are unable to crochet anymore. That is such a fine and delicate thing to do. My Mom tried to teach me how to knit. It looked like a ball of knots.
Oh, if I would brush my dog during my rage episode, the poor guy would be bald!
I also sit and talk to my dog and kitty. They listen better than 90% of the doctors that I have seen in my life.
I also don't talk to humans or go where they are at! I don't enen answer my phone, because I will get very angry at them for no reason.
Thank You!

"when these episodes of rage hit me, I feel like I turn into the Incredible Hulk." I have said those exact words more times that I can count as I explain what it feels like. There is simply no controlling it at some points. NOT a nice feeling at all.
I'm so so very sorry, Little Bear.
And you two are not alone in talking to your critters! I talk to every single one! LOL! Even when I had goats, I used to talk to them all the time too. They all love it when we do.
What about something online??? I like doing jigsaw puzzles (can't loose the pieces!) and other things on my kindle, lol! If I'm uptight, it can help me calm down sometimes if I start using it soon enough, or at least distract me! LOL!
I hope that you can find a way to cope with this.

O gosh I just went through a lyme rage a few days ago! Put me back some, but not taking the bs from others that think they r smarter than you and know more about dogs than me. O we would of been in a fist fight if it wasn't for my darling hubby stopping it! I had 2 bi? on my butt over a dog. O I went to their bosses also. O it wasn't a nice situation at all! I even said I am not coming back no more! But they talked to them and some what begged me to come back, because I am not afraid to help where help is needed. I helped clean kennels 1 day. I told the bosses if either one of them said 1 word to me I was telling them FU and letting them have it. Told them not into this stupid drama bs! I am here for a stress reliever not add to it! They know I have lyme and I sat n talked to the 1 that is the head of volunteers what I go through. I had talks with a lot of the dog walkers that go in the woods about it also. hee hee they probably get sick of hearing it LOL. So I will see what happens when I go back, say some prayers for me that I don't end up knocking these 2 out! O I warned both bosses to keep them away from me LOL! They will all find out what a full blown lyme rage is all about! Natalie (head of the volunteers) knows what it takes for me to come up a very busy highway to get there. She works with me a lot! She is a sweet heart. Any way wish me luck for next week when I go back. Guy and I are going to an event, which I said I wouldn't do if the bi???s were there! But Natalie told me not to worry about it, I made sure they wouldnt be there so u can come! hmmm who's the better person here, ME the lymie! Natalie knows that Guy comes with me to these events or I dont go, b/c of driving to far or the traffic. I WARNED THEM IF THEY HEAR ME GO MFERS GET OUT OF MY FACE, THAT I AM NOT GOING TO BE NICE ABOUT IT AGAIN! O I am not afraid of anyone that is out to destroy my health, I will tell them in a heart beat! Than walk away n have nothing to do with them. I got the taste of feeling better and NO ONE will stand in my way of feeling this way. Ok done my rant giggle, but People just don't get it at all. But I make sure I make them understand leave me alone! or else.

Oh no!!! LOL! I already know the details of this little exchange, but I did want to say that I'm so glad that you got some things worked out so that you can continue to volunteer there though! I have even warned my own mother that if she kept bringing drama into my life, I would have to end my relationship with her. As I tell others, if I'm willing to do that with my own mother - guess where you land? LOL. Sad, but true. Those that don't understand what we live with sometimes have to be kept at arms distance - and if it's happening in the workplace, there are protections that we can sometimes use, and sometimes we have to go through a 'bargaining process' like DJ just did - but we must protect what health we have left, or if in remission - then we have to protect our health as it can go downhill quickly again if we don't. It would be so nice if we could all just get along and respect each other (okay, but a girl is allowed to dream, right?) - but it's been proven again and again that we must be willing to stand up for ourselves and our health. Hang in there, DJ and I do hope this all works out for you soon.

I have found myself clenching my fists and teeth very often when I deal with wanting to punch someone in the mouth.
Can you volunteer for different hours/shift, so that you don't have to see or communicate with these people?
Natalie sounds like a very nice person. Is there a way that you could work more with her?
I hope that you and Guy are able to enjoy yourselves at the event.

Well good news on my rant at the event! I received an apology from this bit??? on Saturday. Natalie and I did email back and forth over this bs. Walt and I had a face to face talk. Natalie and Walt had a talk with this thing and on Saturday ( which Natalie talked me into doing, she is very honest and sweet. She is another 1 that don't pull no punches and knows I have a bad case of LD. Walt had a talk to her too. When I was getting my dog ready to go and Guy went into the kitty room, no one around, which is fine, don't need the drama from anyone else. "A" hole came over to me and said I am very sorry for being rude to you at the event! I said ok, but u were lucky I did not punch u in your face LOL! Now she thinks she is my new bff! ROFLMAO! NOT in this life time. But I will deal with her and her new attitude towards me. I will talk to her, but will not be around her. I love being at the rescue and it's good for me. Just has to be a few ass holes in the bunch. The rest of the people there are great and into the dogs.
I am very relieved that I can go there with out a bunch of drama! She will lose her job if she gets in my face next time. I am not out to make her lose her job, just to leave me a lone! OR ELSE next time lol

Hi LB and all, I had lyme rage and it was bad... In my case it went away when I took Dr. Jernigan's Neuro-Antitox CNS/PNS formula to bind up the ammonia in my brain. Jernigan has some blogs about ammonia being one of the worse toxins from the dye-off of bacteria if you want to google it. Some people can smell ammonia from their body (I didn't). But I figured I would try that formula since I went undiagnosed for about 5 years and lo and behold it worked for me.
Some also say Yucca Root works to bind ammonia but not sure if it crosses the blood brain barrier.
Anyway, punch your pillow or hit a tree with a big branch!! Hope you feel better! Denise

I'm having the same exact problem. I don't think I've had it before. I don't have any physical outlet because I'm in so much pain. I also have been trying to clear ammonia throughout my treatment, so maybe that's my problem. I feel like I'm ready to lose it, but I have no outlet. I'm so sad and angry and feel so alone.

My very ladylike mother would roll over in her grave if she knew some of the words that were coming out of my brain! 🤣 I really, really try to watch it, especially when the kids are around, but they heard me say BS the other day. They were f&@$@&$ shocked!
Thank you all so very, very much for being so supportive and helping me out.
You have truly been a Godsend these last few days!
