I am really struggling with inexplicable anger right now. Honestly, I feel like breaking something, throwing something across the room and then stomping on it.
If this is the trans version of PMS, I think I understand why guys are skittish around their wives/girlfriends during that time of the month ...

I have always had temper
I have always had temper spells like that, of course I blamed it on being half Italian. lol
I went through some of that in my old job,
I'm taking Celexia generic, which has helped a lot. No bad side effects, lots of good ones for a diabetic in remission.
Oh, sweetheart. Don't bottle it up.
Find something you won't regret trashing and have at it.
Then have yourself a good cry.
sigh.
We can;t stop the emotional tsunamis. (Guys have it too, but it always comes out as anger.) Best we can do is surf them the best we can.
Everything passes.
With you in spirit.
Pillow
Pillow always works when it comes to times like these. Have a small pillow next to you whenever you have the feeling, and use it as a club on your desk, floor, wall or even yourself. If that's still not enough, get on the bed and punch it to your heart's content. A pillow on the bed almost always works for me. I'm not longer on antipsychotics, so sometimes it gets unbearable.
You might Talk to your therapist
Am I the only one who has been told "your gender issues are making you angry?"
So, my therapist brought out the dolls. Some plastic, some all cloth, just an awesome assortment. I would have liked to take a couple of them home, but at 90 dollars an hour you have to wonder what she would have charged....
Then she tells me to "Have at it! Take out your anger in this safe environment (or words to that effect).
So I did. I didn't mind dismembering Barbie so much, you would always snap her back together. But one poor rag doll didn't survive. An arm here, Stuffing there, Torso mangled... well you get the picture.
By the time she called time out the room was full of pieces parts and my therapist was inching away from me.
I hope she had the next client put them back together as some sort of healing exercise!

Primal Scream therapy
Plastic whiffle ball bats and a big pine tree always worked. But if you don't have a back yard, tree, an overstuff ottoman (foot stool, not, you know, a fat guy from the Ottoman empire), and beat it like a drum.
work it off
I have an MMA style Heavy bag hung in my Garage, when things get intense, I go work it over. I am not a small person, and take great pleasure in making it swing around a bit with a few good kicks and punches.
Note to self. wear gloves and shin protectors next time.
