Intermittent Explosive Disorder?

I strong believe in have IED. I understand the severity of the impulsivity and the "episodes" is not anger, but fits of rage. I have experienced these episodes and feeling of rage numerous times in the past four years. Some examples may include; I attacked one of my sisters, twice, with scissors because she was wearing my shirt ( to cut off the shirt), I've physically and verbally attacked family members, I've kicked in a door (leaving a large caved hole), I've stabbed my sister in the hand with a rat tail comb, smashed my iPhone on the floor (causing it to shatter and no, i'm not spoiled) and the list can go on. 8 out of 10 times, I feel no remorse of my actions. I'm afraid of what I might do next and I have a hard time controlling these fits of rage. By reading this, you might think I'm a testosterone-filled, rebellious 18 year old male, but Sadly, I'm only an average 16 year old girl. Some may think I'm a sociopath or just a really angry person going through a "teenage phase", but this is serious. Do you think I have IED and What should I do? And lastly, I'm NOT self-diagnosing.

The typical mistake non sociopaths make is that they think all the "bad" things we do are grand, glamorous or extreme. The typical sociopath is much more subtle and does not set off people's alarms. You sound more like a disturb child whom is mentally unstable and crying out for help.

It's the small tortures and verbal attacks that entertain the true sociopath. The feeling of picking apart a persons mental state piece… By… Piece.

I wouldn't know though since I'm not a sociopath.

I would say definitely not. I have IED, or i believe i do as its can't really be diagnosed.

IED is more going completely mental over tiny tiny little things. Pretty much "over reacting to the situation"

Example. I can't find a cigarette paper in the car, I've completely trashed the inside on my car and punched and smashed my windscreen. Where in other situations of my life, I have had a friend write off not one, but two! Of my cars and it really didn't bother me, yes i was upset and angry but i didn't explode or go off.

Also showing no remorse for a period of time, i may have a cronic fight with my house mate starting with my tone of voice or example, want to literally kill him, and HATE with such a passion but then 10 minutes later be COMPLETELY over the whole situation, the argument, what i was going to do about it, any anger or hostility gone. Like it never happened.

Very frustrating.

Hope you work it out. I'm not sure what you may have.

  • How to stop my explosive diarrhea? I'm in a public bathroom having explosive diarrhea. Thank god for my iPhone, huh? It's very crowded and I had to push two small children out of my way to make it to this glorious porcelain miracle in time. The thing is, it's not stopping. It's really quite worrying, do I rub my stomach or what?
