Anger attacks?

I am a university student and I also work at the University as a part-time secretary. When I am working or studying I feel completely normal, almost relaxed, but, when I get home my anger appears and I get really anxious and nervous. I bite my fingers (not my nails) until they get sored. I don't have any sentimental problems, on the contrary, my boyfriend and I get on very well, we feel happy with each other and are planning to get married after finishing our studies. I am very worried, because I cannot understand these "attacks". I have thought about problems with my mother, but, despite of some little arguments, we are fine.
Please let me know what happens to me.
Best regards,
Laura

Dear Laura;
There are several psychiatric conditions that are characterized by anxiety such as depression, panic, phobias, etc. I wish I had more information about other symptoms that accompany the "anger and anxiety" that you feel when you do get home. What I would advice you is to monitor your symptoms and if other symptoms develop such as losing interest in activities, feeling depressed or anxiety attacks, a consultation with a mental health practitioner might be beneficial. There are medications and psychotherapy available for anxiety and depression.
