Is it normal that i blackout when angry ?

I am a very easy going person , who doesnt take much seriously and i enjoy having fun but i have a problem . My problem is that whenever i start to get angry i blackout and dont remember what i've done . I know this may not seem to big a problem but sometimes i have woken from the blackouts having harmed myself or the people closest to me . Its not like i fall asleep or anything cause when i wake up its usualy just after i've done something , its more like a split personality as my friends and family say i become a whole different person (my attitude , the way i talk everything changes they say ) . I just want to know if there is anyone else who suffers from this and if they can give me a solution or at least some advice .

    And black outs can be cause by adrenaline quite often, it is like a safety mechanism kind of like a brain over ride or auto pilot to get u through a traumatic experience. It happens to me to, light ringing in my ears heart pumps really fast I snap and black out, kinda come to thinking oh shit what just happened. The only way I keep it from happening is not getting pissed. Just walk away, and if the other person involved forces u into a bad spot, then just black out on them and what ever happens happens

    You're like me in this way. I rarely gets angry and when I do,I get all scary and such. And I also don't remember when I wake up after fainting. The doctors said that it's due to me keeping myself from crying and getting upset that I have began to be like this. I'm pretty much emotionless most of the time. I've kept myself from crying for 18 years that it's really hard to make me cry. Maybe it's the same for you?

      I blackout when I get into a fit of rage, it's like my brain shuts down and my rage takes over I can still move but I don't remember anything of what happens when im in this kind of state. The last time it happened I was 13. It was at school during lunch this kid made me really angry I started to get dizzy, my heart was racing I tried to tell him to stop but he didn't listen and I blacked out my rage took over and that's all I remember but when i somehow pulled myself out of that state and I had his arms twisted behind his back with him lieing on the concrete floor and I was about to stamp on his head. The next thing I remember was being pulled into a room but my head teacher and was asked a lot of questions like why and how because they couldn't explain these to me or to themselves and I told them I can't remember anything so they filled me in. I got angry and the kid he punched me in the face which should have put me on the floor but it didn't I punched him back and he fell and I stept on his back, twisted his arms back and was about to step on his head and this wasn't the first time it's happened when I was also 10 me, my sister and our friend were playing and game in the woods and these other kids but this one kid we were with made me angry so angry I blacked out and when I got out of that state I had 2 grown men were holding me down and I front of me was a thick stick and there being picked up of the ground was the kid and when I looked closer the stick had blood all over it and the kid had a cracked skull and was bleeding a lot and when the ambulance came the men let me go once they found out the kid was going to be okay so I left and told no one about it for a few years. I this normal or not? Because I don't know

    Hello everyone I’m new to this, but I would like to weigh in on the question/comments etc.
    On July 5th 1998 I was in bed with my fiancé, a couple was staying in our guest room and we had tickets to an outdoor concert that morning. They came by and we watched the fireworks and went to bed at 10pm. Long story short an illegal man from morocco had broken into 2 other houses and sexual assaulted 2 women 1 with a 4 and 5-year-old in bed with her. He picked my house last and that was a big mistake. I was awake with my eyes closed I wake to him leaning over my fiancé with a sharpened 18inch pray bar.
    He was startled when I sat up, to fast forward I chanced him down with a bat, t threw he bat and it tripped his legs and he fell. Here’s the part about anger, I’m so easy going, I snapped. Mind you no drunks no alcohol, I beat him to an inch of his life and beat the 6 plus officers trying to get me off him. To this day I don’t remember any of it. My problem is I know that animal or whatever is inside me and when I get upset and stressed I do worry. I went to a shrink, anxiety crap to relax me, no thx I try doing positive things to stay relaxed. Hope everyone enjoys the holidays.

    I do this aswell. I have been expelled from school for it because i blacked out and punch the teacher 5 times and i have blacked out during a fight and have pulled a knife on someone and i actuallt blacked out 2 days ago with boy friend and he said i was about to hit him (boy as friend not boyfriend) so yes its normal

    What you are experiencing is called PTSD. When you "blackout" it's because you have been triggered. Such as when you get agitated or perceive a threat. You can become enraged and violent and not remember a thing. Go to the doctor and gets the medicine that treats it.

    Thank you seriously I thought I was the only person that this happened to and it actually gets really scary at times because I won't remember what happened from when I blacked our and I've seriously hurt people

    Yes, this has happened to me multiple times before, for example why playing football I got into a bit of a scrap and got punched in the face by somone in the other team, I have been told I knocked out the guy who punched me and winded my own team mate and lashed out on various other people, I then fell to the ground and was screaming, my vison had a reddish haze and I can't Remeber any of these events. Are you sure this is normal?

    OMG THIS HAPPENS TO ME! OMG its because of ur adrenaline and then u get soooo pissed u lose control. Its because of the human evolution from ape to human, ur using ur inner ape and Its goal is to kill who ever pissed you off!! But you better be glad u come back in time because if u dont.... U either beat them realy bad or kill them. Luckly theres always people around to stop you. Because this isnt good! Even tho it seems awsome... Dude u can end up killing that motherfucker even if he bullied/annoyed you! But the things that you like about it is how u dont feel anything and you just go crazy. But in the other persons eyes, your a monster. Beast mode. All they see in you is MONSTER. So yea....theres good and bad sides to this.

    This was really helpful. I have been really stressed out trying to figure out what my bf has. Its happened a few times to him but the last one happened the other day and i can't look at him the same anymore, I'm scarred of him... I want him to get help but he doesn't like admitting he has a problem and i don't know what to do, its too much weight on my shoulders but i love him and care about him after everything. Is there any way you think i can get him to go? I already tried for 3 years and I'm at a loss. Also he doesn't remember doing things, or if he does its different then how out really happened, and i don't think he was angry when he did these things. Does that happen to anyone else?
    Oh and the whole holding in feelings thing fits right in; he never really shows his feelings until so many things get to him that he ends up exploding with rage. Thankyou so much, it really helps me knowing that there's other ppl out there like this.
    And yes you are normal because there is a reason for everything.

    Itduz you have no idea what your talking about. This is a very serious issue and real. Its scary as hell. I didn't want to believe that it was real but it is. I'm scarred, i wish i could show you how real this is. If you have nothing supportive to say then don't say it at all. Your vary disrespectful. I bet that you wouldn't say this to sometimes face. I hate ppl like youthatthink you can say anything just because its online. Plus you are saying these things to the wrong ppl. I would be really happy if they blacked out on your ass, and they would! And you should be scared cause when they black out they do not have a care in the world, they wouldn't even feel bad to kill someone. I am afraid for the lives of everyone around my bf, but I'm mostly afraid for his own life. He has depression issues and he was about to slit his throat. He doesn't remember they 40 minutes of his life! He started to cry cause he thinks he is insane! This is real if you like it or not. If your not going to help then shut the hell up because your not working to the worldtogether, your just making it worse. Help or shut up because your words are worthless.

    Addiction to rage is a very powerful addiction- you have to ask yourself what you get out of these 'blackouts'

    My bf just explained this to me yesterday so I decided to do some research on it. We fight sometimes so it kind of scares me knowing that he sometimes can't control his blackouts. I guess i just better be careful not to push him to the edge? He's never harmed me but black outs seem pretty sketchy. I know he's messed some people up in fights this way and then later felt horrible about it.

    You need to see a Doc about it. It isn't uncommon, but can be potentially harmful to you or others around you. Good luck.

    Same problem here. When I become angre everything becomes black and when I start to see again I find myself alone and the guy I was having a fight with is gone and never want to see me agian even if I dont know what ive done. This hapened in 3 occations and in one of them my friend that was close to the fight tells me that I beated the shit out of the guy and i cant remember a single thing and usualy Im a very nice guy who try's to stay away from fights its like if someone takes control of me for what it seems to me to be a split second but in reality several minuts :(

    This happens to my boyfriend. He doesn't remember hitting me or anything and blacks out from getting really stressed or angry. It's like he turns into a different person. He is sort of in denial but sometimes he admits that he is scared of this problem.

  • You obviously became possessed by a demon at some point, you'll need to be exorcised at your local church.

      oh good grief I hope that's a joke- demons don't exist and shouldn't be used as an excuse for anger - and 'exorcising' is bloody dangerous and should be outlawed- keep religion out of people's brains for crying out loud
