basically I have been getting angry alot recently, starting bar fights and driving off in a hump all the normal ******* things...

But I am having trouble remembering the middle of the anger I remember getting angry and why but I seem to not be able to remember alot from the situation when i got into a fight the other day I remember the anger...then I remember one or two flashes from the scuffle then I am at the bar?

or just an hour ago I got angry jumped on my motorcycle and remember moving off and small parts of the journey and that I got lost that is it.... I am trying to look this up but I cant find anything apart from blackouts but i wouldnt say its blacking out just impartial memory...

anyone got a degree in psychology ?? sadly they dont cover this kind of thing within animal studies lol

I hate blacking out like that...haven't done it in a few years, but it sucks when people are all like "don't you remember? You said/did/that/this/OMG", but you're all like "I did?" My anger takes me there sometimes too....I just simply try not to get that mad and think to myself....it's not worth getting that angry over. Sorry about that though, I know the feeling! (Y)

<snipped>

Too funny, bro! XD

Do not take this the wrong way, but I think you absolutely need to see a professional.

Even if others admit to doing so as well, simply put, it is not normal behavior. In fact, it very well could be deadly behavior.

So need to talk to someone at the very least.

Something is doing this to your brain. The sooner you find out what it is, confront it, the sooner you can move on.

Leaving it "bottled up" so to speak, meaning thinking it will just correct itself on it's own, is not the path to take.

Good Luck.

I have yet to understand, in my long life anyway, as to why anyone would post on a board, or anywhere for that matter, **** to do with one's life? I can think of the obvious reason, yes, attention?, but apart from that, it escapes me?

Please enlighten me further.

I'm no psychiatrist by any means... at all. But is it only when you get angry?

Or have you recently quit drinking/drink often?

I only ask because I have drank for quite a long time, and recently quit drinking. I've been having similar blackouts, though, not triggered by anger or anything, but the alcohol detox process. I had to start taking DXM to combat the blackouts. Though mine only last from 10-15 seconds. I almost got my hand in a a saw the other day at work.

Basically, have you quit an vices/addictions recently, or going through a rough time? That would be my guess.

I would see a doctor of some sort. It could be very dangerous to let it continue.

because you dont know me I dont know you. you dont even know my first name.. you will probs never meet me and will most likly not bother me about it once I get some closure ... while everyone else would not stop leaving me alone and would probs bring it up or blame my actions on what ever this is ...

its just anger or so it seems im have no habbits and have had no habbits which involve regular intakes of narcotics :/ so it couldnt be that... when you got your black outs were you still functioning? or did you pass out or what? cause mine i still function (i guess or I would have crashed my motor bike)

A professional is definitely who you should be seeing if you think you have an issue. Will have my Psych degree in less than a year so I'm bias.

Still functioning, and can see. But motor skills go out briefly, and I blank. Then when it goes away, I continue doing whatever I was doing, without a hiccup. I am completely aware of what just happened, but not sure why I completely shutdown for a couple of seconds. After my doctor prescribed me the DXM it has stopped happening, so it was clearly due to the detoxing.

      Likely nothing will be done in corporate America, there have been countless Tesla self-driving incidents. Then again, there have also been countless human operated incidents. It's literally daily news here in Canada, to the extent that it's now odd if we get a day where a collision doesn't get announced on the radio throughout the day...
    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on

      By Steven P. · Posted

      SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
