Is it normal to get intense bouts of anger?

I'm usually a pretty mellow person, but lately, I've been getting extreamly angry. Mostly with my sister and mother, and father... So I guess my family. But My sister's always been kind of a diva, you know? "Look at me! Look at me! aren't I awesome?" and it's just starting to make me really mad. My mother acts like Im six- legitametly- she talkes to be in baby talk and everything. And my father can be the biggest pig headed jerk ive ever met. BUT, they have their moments. It's the bad ones that make me mad. And like I said- I'm usually a pretty mellow person. And because Im getting so angry all the time I never want to spend time with people. Im perpetually alone, and its starting to weigh on me. After I get mad, everytime, I mentally slap myself in the face for being such a bitch.But I seariously can't help it anymore... is there any hope?

    Well, it'd usually be abnormal. But based on what you're going through, I don't think anyone could be expected to not get mad.

    Try spending more time away from the people who are making you mad.

    Were quite the same... some say this is caused by hormones during growth.. but I'm not sure though.. I deal with it by talking to people a lot. If I burst into oblivion I try to release them by shouting in my room while covering my face with the pillow.

    Of course theres hope man! Seems to me you have a lot of implosive anger, where you keep quiet when things anger you and the anger just builds up inside until it reaches bursting point.

    I've had this too and many other people have as well. There are loads of ways of releasing your anger by doing sports, punching pillows/punch bags, cutting wood or doing anything which you can release your anger onto, without effecting someone else obviously, like it wouldn't be very nice to shout at people in the street or take a kids football or something.

    As for the people who annoy you, you can't really change them, but you can tell them how it makes you feel when they annoy you.
