I'm 19 years old and a soldier in the US Army. Before I left for BCT and AIT, I was just fine. Now that I'm back home (from 10 months of training, not a deployment) I have the absolute worst anger problems.
Little things get to me. Examples: Someone talking while I'm watching TV, Someone driving too slow, People not knowing how to speak English in the US, etc
Little things that a normal person would get angry at, then let go. I hold onto it all day. And I don't just get angry, I get absolutely FURIOUS and go into a rage. But it's an internal rage, not an outward rage. If someone says something to me, I am short with them and mean. Not punching walls or anything.
I went to the doctor and was prescribed Celexa (20mg) but I don't notice it helping me much. I just really don't understand why I can't control my anger anymore. Surely it isn't from the Army, it was just training.
But my mom says that I might be getting bipolar like her. She thinks it's hereditary.
I'm happy one minute then something incredibly small and stupid throws me into an uncontrollable rage that I can't seem to calm down. Any suggestions? Thanks, greatly appreciated.
