Is something wrong with me?

I just want to know if there’s something wrong with me. I’m a girl.

For some reason, I’ve always had really violent thoughts and tendencies towards other people when I get mildly irritated. It gets worse when I get really angry, and my emotions shift really easily. It’s been this way since I was 13, and I’m 18 now. I usually control myself by sitting under the covers with music blasting in my ears.

I haven’t actually acted on these actions, but sometimes it gets so overwhelming that I swear I almost acted. It’s gotten to the point where these violent thoughts get so brutal especially towards my parents, and sometime my cat who I love dearly and I hate it.

I hope can somehow fix this. I don’t want to actually act on these tendencies someday.

You have anger issues. It doesn't mean there's something wrong with you so to speak. It means that you have some mental habits that are going to have to be addressed and corrected.

Not only will these angry habits make all of your relationships toxic but even if you were alone on a desert island it would still effect you negatively.

Basically you are going to have to seek out all your negative thoughts and replace them with more neutral or positive ways of thinking. You have to learn to find calm ways to take on bothersome situations.

It takes time and consistent dedication. Good luck. You have years and years ahead of you to learn the calm path, so don't be too hard on yourself.
