I will be praying for you. I remember having something like that when I was younger. It was a series temper problem, and I did not know how to deal with it except get angry and throw things. But then I took to heart a couple verses from the bible.
My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. ~James 1:19-20
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. ~ Ephesians 4:31-32
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. ~Psalm 37:8
In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. ~ Ephesians 4:26-27
Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools. ~Ecclesiastes 7:9
These verses helped me with my anger problems. They showed me that there are times when I am not to let my emotions become my master and I am to let my service to the Lord be my aim. His will be done not mine. Self control is not an easy thing to develop but with much prayer, determination, and time it is possible to develop. I did it, and you can to.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding ~Proverbs 3:5
God Bless

As always, I'm praying for you, Chris. Keep your chin up, keep going. When things in life get dark, it's easy to become frustrated by the smallest things and just be consumed with anger and irritation...I understand because I've been there. If you haven't done so already, I highly suggest looking for relaxing activities, no matter how simple they are, and doing those as often as you can. If you can avoid even minor things that set you off, give it a try. *hugs*

Well it is not going to work if you give up on it. You got to get in there and fight this angriness harder then you have ever fought it before. You can’t win if you give up the fight. And sometimes you may fail at winning the fight, but so what. You ask God for forgiveness and get right back up and fight again, and do the right thing. Maybe no one else is doing the right thing, but you do the right thing. You be honest, take a stand, and fight this evil. After all God does the right thing, he saves you with his grace. Turn to Jesus and he will get you through, turn away and you will be left to fend for yourself.
One of the fruits of the spirit is 'self-control.' God promises that the Holy Spirit will help us grow these virtues, and God will do his part in helping you grow self-control, but you have to do your part. Be determined to win and God will help you win.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. ~ Galatians 5:22-26

I've been having little rages too...I got in an argument with my father that escalated into a fight (nobody was really hurt). It stinks. But my anger doesn't have an actual cause, either...it just happens. Maybe you have aspergers? (I don't. I already looked into it.)

It sounds like a problem that has to be given to the Lord Jesus to take care of. Give it to Him and have faith that He will fill you and change your heart.
It is God that works in you to will and to do for His good pleasure.
He who called you is faithful, who will also do it.
Ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit, so that He can work in you the fruition of self-control. He will be faithful to give you that good gift.
If we, though we are evil, know how to give good gifts, then how much more will God give good gifts to those who ask Him? (paraphrase)
Enough advice. I'll pray for you, sister. Take heart.

automatically she starts thinking that something is wrong...she thinks that every emotion is connected to a problem. i seriously didn't know why i was feeling like that! i mean i had no reason to!
Perhaps you mom may have a point... because what other logical reason could there be for feeling rage? I'm not saying that it's necessarily caused by someone else... but perhaps it may be subconscious.
For me, these past couple weeks I've been enraged and I didn't know exactly why... it was just a feeling. Then one day my heart told me there were a few personal matters that needed to be taken care of in order for me to be happier and feel closer to the Lord. And until then I hadn't made those changes. I hated the person I saw in the mirror and that was enough for me to make that change.
I'm not saying that this is your case, but sometimes rage can be caused by many other things then just wrong doing by another. For me it was just personal matters that needed to be rectified. For others it's different.
Anyways, whatever your case may be, I will definitely continue to pray for you. I pray that God helps you find what is causing the rage (if there is something) and that He helps you overcome it. You are truely a child of God with a good heart. If you contiue to have that, I know you'll be okay.

I'm praying for you, ct! I tend to get that way around certain people, and I don't know why. These are people I love and care about dearly, but I seem to get in a bad mindset around them a lot of times. It tears me up sometimes. I'll continue to pray for ya. Be strong!
