I have had frequent very violent episodes about 2-3 times per year, when I destroyed things, beaten my mother, tortured her in different ways and all this lasting for 2-3 hours. Like I was completely someone else, then followed by extreme guilt and sadness, all of this is happening since past 6 years last time happened in april this year, since I hit puberty before that though I had frequent anger outbursts but not as severe and didn't include hurting my mom.

Hey lybrate-user! I can completely empathize with what you might be going through. You don?t want to control your anger; you need to always learn to express it, appropriately and hitting loved ones is most definitely not the correct way and I urge you to stop it immediately. The reason you are quick to anger is exactly what you have been probably doing for a long time in your life: you have been controlling it. In other words, a lot of anger is already there in your system that has not been expressed so that any time, even a minor provocation, can trigger off immediate reaction, and can also trigger off high levels of it. There is something more serious and may have to do with unresolved childhood issues. This has to be identified. Unresolved childhood issues typically come up during this period looking for a resolution. This extent of loss of control suggests a need intense therapy. The reason for you doing so could be many, but one I can suggest is that you may not have been allowed to express your feelings, especially anger, at home while you were growing up. Puberty plays a very important role in a person?s life. The other possibility is that whenever you are afraid, you may choose to act angry because anger is a strong energy feeling whereas fear is a weakening feeling and makes you feel vulnerable. However, I highly recommend you take intense therapy at the earliest before things go downhill. Meanwhile try to exercise and release all the built-in anger and choose body cooling diet like buttermilk, cucumber, fruits, green leafy vegetables etc.
