Living with Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) is crippling, embarrassing and misunderstood. Its rage is extreme, unpredictable and unsafe. Learning and adopting navigation skills are essential.
Intermittent Explosive Disorder is a mental disorder often caused by a traumatic brain injury (TBI), which alters the brain's capability to provide insight, judgment and impulse control.
The brain's overreaction to the simplest of situations is explosive and dangerous and entirely out of proportion to the circumstance at hand. The brain misfires, rage is triggered, and an episode ensues where madness unleashes in a second.
This collection of poems outlines in explicit detail a lived experience of facing and navigating the episodic rages of IED. A personal journey of ultimate acceptance of what can't be changed, emotional growth with healing, and spiritual discovery through recovery are presented to offer hope and guidance.
