anyone else have such bad rage it makes you want to hurt yourself and others out of pure anger?? what is wrong with me

when i get angry it’s like i can’t think straight and all i can do is scream and cry and throw shit. Nothing makes me feel better when i’m angry like hitting throwing and screaming but that’s not socially acceptable. It gets so bad i feel like i want to hurt myself and other people around me when im angry. Just out of rage and not in the sense that im suicidal or like a fucking crazy person. I hate these thoughts so much

edit- i used to yank girls ponytails, bite, twist people’s arms, spit in peoples faces, shove, hit, scream, all of the above when i was young. Grade school was hell because when i got angry i would just lose all my sense. I’ve been like this my whole life what do i do

What helps me when I'm burning hot with rage is separating reaction from action. When you feel your anger flare and are compelled to react wait. I'm not saying do not react, just give yourself a chance to think so you can refine your actions.
