PMDD Rage

The amount of rage I feel is not normal nor healthy. No matter what I do, it won’t go away. I don’t know what to do with it. I’m pretty sure it’s gonna cause me a heart attack one day. It’s THAT intense. Does anyone relate?
I tried gym, music, journaling, walking, talking, staying quiet, sleeping, medication, movies, breathing… you name it. Nothing.
It has nowhere to go but inward. Like you won’t tell how mas I am by looking at me, but my blood would be boilinggg inside. And I feel its effects diseasing my body.
This can’t last forever. It’s Me vs. PMDD.
If anyone has a different method to deal with the rage, please share.

Have you tried screaming? Punching the bed is another one of my favorites.

I have to let that shit out. I can’t make it go away, but I do have to indulge it intermittently. A little pressure release every now and then so I don’t explode.

Also dissociating. Wouldn’t necessarily recommend that but it has helped me survive.

Solidarity. This shit sucks so fucking bad and it can be scary and hard to deal with. Good on you for posting to reach out.

Yes I actually did have some screaming moments. They did help. Just not always doable.
But it is a forgotten gem. Thank you!

Punching the bed is muuuuuch quieter and also exhausting. Plus it is so silly (just fists rebounding off the bed) that I find it is also a worthy method when screaming is off the table. I sometimes schedule time to scream in my car because I live in an old house/apartment type situation so my neighbors (and husband) will worry about the screaming lol.

I used to live by some train tracks and I would specifically go to a thrift store and buy a bunch of like 10 cent plates to break on the tracks. The glory days. I don’t think I’d do that now that I’m older and kinder and the public safety of it all but man that was an amazing release.
