waking up full of rage happens for me too, usually if i go back to sleep and think/dream the wrong thing, then wake up feeling that way.
but rage feels different to me. if i feel "high on my anger" its definitely not chirpy or lalalala. and
i certainly wouldn't go sleep in the street when i have a perfectly good bed, its all cold and concrete
setting things on fire is associated with rage, and i can understand that. basically, if you feel like thay cause of rage, its all about aggression - sometimes i feel urges to violently self-harm when i feel that way, but i don't see it as fun, its more about release.
spraying walls makes me think more "good outlet" than "bad outlet" but i'd be painting a picture inspired by those feelings,

- i'd want to add something, change it, and make a point, not destroy stuff, so its not something i'd get the urge to do cause i was angry.
but jumping off the roof (:shock:) or wanting to sleep in the street im not so sure about, bpd can include hypomania, it sounds more like that to me than rage? (feel free to explain if im barking up the wrong tree!)
I felt angry the other day. i feel angry on and off. but i don't feel any of those other things. I've felt a lot better since I had a chance to vent some stuff that was bothering me, and had a chance to think about it.
mostly in the last few days i feel normal. (for me.) have at times felt quite fed up in the last few days, but im more chirpy cause for the first time in AGES i no longer feel beaten down by life in the same way. im pushing it to the back of my mind. its still there, but i don't want to feel like that cause i hate feeling that way.
I'm feeling the other way round i guess, for the first time in ages i feel like me again. (meaning about my mood and outlook.)
I also often decide to stay in if i get problems with rage tho. but i struggle with it, i have to constantly remind myself i don't want the consequences if i act on it, but it doesn't make me chirpy!
If I'm struggling, its closer to "desperation" than "chirpy". It doesn't make me feel like not me, when it happens, its just me, struggling with my feelings.
Sorry you're having trouble with this White-Rabbit.
