All right, I’ll just say it… I have a dreadful, god-awful temper. My whole family does. Genetics aside, I always feel utterly depressed and miserable after I lose my temper. During my rage, I experience a major high— like a seriously high-voltage electric current is flowing through my body and I can do absolutely anything I set my ****ing mind to. Then after the high dissipates, the low is painful. I feel wretched. It happened this evening— work and a coworker were really angering me. I didn’t explode or blow up at work, but I seethed uncontrollably on the inside. The high lasted until I got home and now I’m despondent. It’s not fun.

I hear you @indigo1015 - I have experienced that adrenaline high and I felt that power but it is only the body preparing for fight or flight response. It does not last for me either.
I think Marshall Rosenberg' book, Non-Vioklent Communication, or youtube videos helped me a lot with anger by helping me to separate out the story in my head ffrom what actually happened.

Thanks for sharing this indigo, I hope candc's book recommendation helps. I relate so much to how you described the rage as an electrical current .

Yeah, it doesn’t. I can already sort out the facts from the fiction in my head. The problem is managing the intense emotion and avoiding my crash after.
