i know someone who got it.

aye, i've had that happen to me every once in a while. well that save or the rage thing. its weird, and unfortunately idk what it is

I hear ya, its unconfortable to me specially if it happens when I am doing a relaxing task, like drawing

oh i know, i usually get it when im getting ready for bed and just suddenly hits and i get all hot, and antsy. it blows fat cock for chump chnge

makes me want to buy a punchbag for when that happens XD

ha, it usually makes me antsy to where i have to shoot something so i usually toss on COD and kill nazis XD

this happened to me twice when I was with my Ex gf, she was very pleaced lol if I may say so, fucking with a berserker XD thats the onlytihng good I got from this, but now I am single XD

haha i could imagine how that could come in handy, but yeah single could give you issues....hand cramps nuff said lmao

I get the same feeling once in a while. It just crops up out of nowhere. I've learned how to remove that train of thought, but sometimes I get stuck on a line of thinking about something that frustrates or angers me insanely and I have to step back and stop it. I don't think it's utterly uncommon, It's just a strange idiosyncrasy, something odd that pops into your thought processes or maybe an urge going unfulfilled .

when it happens to me i just randomly start crying.. hmm maybe we aren't using up our hormones properly :p

well its not crying what heppens to me :P and it happens when I am zoned drawing, so I can tell you, I am not thinking in anything bad or remember something that frustrates me, it just happens

yeah Its the same :p I think it's just random emotions with different people - some people get mad, some get sad, even when not remembering anything

not to butt into the comments with other people.. but maybe it's just for the fact that you are 'in the zone' so to speak. not like i'm a psychology major or anything, but, i'm pretty sure that zoning out or being in that frame of mind where you're just so into and absorbed into what you're doing is sort of like hypnotism. it's just that one singular focus. and weather you can consciously know that thought or feeling has come up or not, maybe there's just some stuff there that bubbles up out of nowhere to cause those feelings. or maybe now i just sound crazy. ^^;;
i just know that sometimes i'll be drawing and be so into it. then i'll get a random, powerful emotion then be like 'wth, i wasn't even drawing anything relative' but then i figure i was so locked into my art that my brain wanted to go for a walk on it's own. heh

judging from this thread this is way more prevalent among artists than i thought.. glad i'm not weird xD

seems like a decent suggestion. hormones can do crazy things.

Could it possibly be an a-typical anxiety attack?

I'm not an anxious person but I got one once when I was nice and relaxed (or so it was diagnosed by a friend). Except instead of going into a rage, i kind of started shaking and simply blacked out on my feet. The other symptoms were the same though. I donno, maybe it's something similar?

Brains are weird either way.

could be, I remember the first time I experienced it, was in the middle of the class and went berserk all of a sudden, shaking incontrolably, I was sent back home and blacked out for 2 days, havent experienced it like that again, and hope I never do XD

Yikes, that's full on. You never followed that up with a diagnosis? And yeah, hopefully nothing like that happens again hey.

Though it seems a lot more benign now anyway, probably just a quirk and nothing to worry about. I have no qualifications to this, but I strongly suspect that with me anyway, it had something to do with a lack of sleep. Just FWIW.

last year I went through a full examination, neurologist, a general medic and a nutriologist, and I got very nice results, there is nothing wrong with me, but thn again it happens rarely and its nothing out odf this world and thankfully nothing like the first time

Yeah that's fair enough. There's nothing wrong with me either and it still happened. It’s the only time I've even so much as blacked out. It's just a thing ;)

You're kinda like the hulk when you think about it. That's what I'd go around telling people, anyway.

sounds like a panic attack or aneixty o.o umm one question... do you sit down and drink a lot of energy drinks as you draw for long periods of time cause it could be caffinne issues too.

I draw alot yes there for I stay sit for long periods of time, but I never drink any kind of energy drinks, like monster, red bull, not even coffee

Well without trying to be a grim-reaper, that sounds like a blood-pressure or heart problem, and I'd advise you to go to a Doctor for a simple check-up, as well as sharing the symptoms.

Would you rather ignore it and hope it goes away, for it to turn out to be something a lot more serious too-soon-too-late

Or just go ask a professional. Hell, they might just give you some pills for 2 weeks and boom, you're better. :P

just as I replied to  pseudoart7878 some comments above, I went through a full check last year and everything is fine with me XD, my guess is that since I am a very relaxed calm kind of guy the enrgy just has to go out

Oh sorry. :3

Welp, might be a build-up of energy like someone else mentioned. Take a breather from the computer every now and then, and make sure you're topped-up with water / flavoured water.

Well, you can have a perfectly fine heart and still suffer through occasional blood pressure spikes. You have to remember that they only check you during that moment of your life, it can't completely account for every other moment. It just means that they can't forsee anything being wrong. I've been known to have random blood pressure spikes for no reason, and it can happen if you're having some sort of anxiety or stress.

However - I do know what you're talking about. I've experienced it as well. I was not aware however if it was just me or a more common phenomena since I have PTSD.

I experienced that when I used to work out, or something similar when it get's too hot. Idk what that is, but sadly I stopped working out cause it freaked me out.

Adrenaline rush.

oh yeah, I get this whenever I try to draw hands :O

I daresay that you shouldn't be too quick to dismiss this as not being a medical issue. (Thank you Doctor House for this one)

Pheochromocytoma: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pheochromocytoma

In essence, it is a rare tumor of the adrenal glands that cause random bouts of Rage by secreting too much norepinephrine and epinephrine.

It's like, a 2-8 chance in a Million, but it isn't unheard of and it DOES happen. Ironically, your primary symptom is sometimes the only one that manifests.

So please, talk to your doctor again, even if it's just a phone call.

hmmm I see, I will have to get a brain scan now, thanks for the info :)

usually during inking for me (this is why I don't do inking XD)

Typically happens to people who don't exercise enough who have pent up energy. I get it when I'm gaming, because I happen to have a naturally athletic body and tons of energy. I'll be playing and suddenly I just wanna get up and go run or just smash something or whatever. Also stems from rapid ups and downs of esteem, empowerment. In a community of minimum wage-etc people, it's probably very common.

I've certainly felt the heat build up and rage, though never at the same time. Also with me the heat build up limits itself to my hands, so I don't know. The body does weird things under stress, so when you really get into something like a drawing it can do all sorts of weird stuff.

Sounds like it might be a hormonal imbalance. Exercise can help as well as dietary changes but a lot of the time it's really just something you have to learn how to deal with (like figuring out what helps you maintain a balance and prevent these "attacks"). Mine isn't rage but I get sudden onset panic attacks or depressions and it's definitely caused by my brain producing too much of one thing and not enough of another. Meditation and mild daily exercise is how I treat it and it works for me.

This happens to me on somewhat regular basis,dunno why. Though the rage part is worse for me.

Ask your doctor to check your adrenal glands.

<.< If it was a tumor on those glans then I would be dead already,I've dealt with this for several years now

You're a tumor expert now?

I'm not saying a malignant tumor. In fact, it's much more likely to be benign, which means you can have it your entire life and it will continue to mess you up without actually killing you.

But if you don't want to look into it, that's your problem. Just trying to help.

Sudden and abnormal release of adrenaline can definitely cause these symptoms. It could be your adrenal gland(s).

Checking the adrenal glands (which sit atop your kidneys like little hats) is definitely not part of a common checkup, so you ought to suggest it specifically to your doctor. Most of them don't even consider it unless they're endocrinologists themselves, and in fact most adrenal tumors are diagnosed at autopsy. You know what that means.

If it doesn't happen all that often, then it might not be anything too bad. But if it becomes more frequent, then you ought to nail it down, because if it is an adrenal tumor or abnormality, then it's serious.

Only when I remember something that should be forgotten.

Not to be a downer but what you are describing is a fit of rage and could be caused by any number of conditions, so consult a professional.

Happens to me a lot. I go on long walks so I can put that angry energy to use.

Its called art rage it's normal. Look uP Jason Alexander. He used to paint on tv like bob Ross and that guy was raging hard cOre when he painted.

I would get that, but that was from all the repressed emotions, bad memories and fears for the future playing their little voices in my head. BUT I found drowning it out with background noise worked.

The feelings mutual.
