So I've had IED, Intermittent Explosive Disorder, for a long time and it shows no signs of going away. I'm scared I'll lose control and hurt someone I love. This fear is so bad I no longer go on dates, and the guys and girls I am attracted to I've distanced from. I feel like by trying not to hurt others in turn I'm hurting myself. Any advice

      I haven't hurt anyone in a long time. I changed to throwing things in 9th grade and that went on until 11th grade until I found a medication that worked for me. I feel a lot calmer on it. But I still get angry, I just rarely show it. Everyone my age is so immature and annoying. That's why I hate living on my college campus. I can never get away from these immature idiots. I just want peace and I never get it. I'm not in the position where I don't want to go on dates because I think I will hurt them. For me it's the fact that everyone is immature at my age and I don't want to date them.

      the only thing that MAJORLY improved my IED was being sent to a psych ward in 3rd grade …

      I get it. I hurt my brother once out of a fit of rage and I didn't even know why but I was scared to look at him after that because I didn't actually want to do that to him. I had to be hospitalized and they spent a lot of my time there working on communication, that helped a lot. So I teccomend working on communicating what triggers your anger with other people, and communicating that you don't mean to be aggressive and you're trying to work on it.
