I'm more "My life sucks and I want to die :c", I don't have the energy to be angry

Have a virtual hug. 🤗
Intermittent explosive disorder involves repeated, sudden bouts of impulsive, aggressive, violent behavior or angry verbal outbursts. The reactions are too extreme for the situation. Road rage, domestic abuse, throwing or breaking objects, or other temper tantrums may be symptoms of intermittent explosive disorder.
It could also be built-up stress or a variety of other disorders, or a culmination of things
Yup, that's how it is with my SO. Basically, lots of little things add up, and eventually it all comes out at once.
I process things a lot differently, and I'm still learning how to help them release some of the pressure before it builds up.
Does it still count if the outbursts are internal and only directed towards yourself?
I guess then it's internment implosive disorder lol
That's probably more along the lines of CPTSD or Impostor Syndrome.
I know very little about psychology but doesn't this seem like a common symptom of some other issues, rather than its own disorder?
Behaviors like this can absolutely occur with other disorders, or combinations of disorders, and if something like this only happens occasionally, with sensible, proximal causes, then this probably is not even any disorder, just a fairly normal reaction to something extremely stressful.
But when its a repeated, common occurance, and occurs with intensity vastly out of proportion to the signifigance of a proximal trigger, or just without one... yeah this is its own disorder.
Its in the DSM, I literally copy pasted this blurb from the Mayo Clinic's page on it.
I don't think that's a healthy way to be.
Yup. I obviously can't offer advice here, but that underlying mental state should be addressed in some form. I like video games and exercise, but everyone has their own preferred outlet.
Gee, ya think, Sammy?
Pretty much just the second one for me
So being stressed tends to make you overreact? Thank you Gabbie, that's a very mindful observation.
(i despise physical existence and explode into a rage whenever im clumsy and get mad at the fact i am cursed to be a physical being prone to being tangled in cords or whatnot)
If I spill water on the floor, I ponder why my subconscious would purposely do such a rare thing. Then I inspect the floor carefully and find that yes, cleaning the floor would improve it. Then I am thankful toward whatever guiding factor I personally believe in, whether Goddess, Spirits, Subconscious, whatever else, and continue cleaning the floor with this free headstart.
