I (22F) do not have an IED diagnosis but after an episode I was reading about major anger issues and found this disorder, read a few articles, and identified with EVERYTHING. After my episodes, because I have ocd, I have repetitive thoughts about how much I shouldn’t have done that and I messed up my progress and I’m too old for this. I only snap at people close to me. I have never snapped at a teacher, coworker, acquaintance, customer at a job, or my therapist. I only snap at some family and close friends and have snapped at an ex before. In fact, as a child, I was one of the best behaved in my class AND behaved 90% of the time for my parents, except when I’d have an episode. I did not receive any kind of abuse from my family. I think a lot of my anger issues come from how I saw my autistic sibling react to things and my frustration from my ocd.
