Yes. Setting internal boundaries that people can’t disrupt who you know you are. Most likely it is someone triggering ocd which is scary and anger inducing so you need to feel protected from the trigger. Set a boundary such as I am not who my ocd or this person is saying I am. I will feel angry and upset but I will talk to my heart with comforting words that ocd is playing tricks. Also do physical things to make you feel safe. Weighted blanket, music, rain sounds, ice cubes, something soft, I understand anger issues because I used to break things and smash them and throw furniture but I read this book boundaries for your soul and it really helped, so I told u what I learned I hope it helps you too :)

I have anger issues too. What I realised is that when you try to fight it it gets worth. I learnt to use it for the ‚good‘. When you stop fighting against it and using it as something that drives you it can have a positive impact. For example I use it in sport I just let it out there. I use it in art. I express anger through writing something. And when it is an extremely bad episode where it’s extremely hard to control I either leave the house and just run till the anger is gone or I lock myself in a room and scream without letting my voice out till I feel better. My motto is however I let it out I will not harm anyone, anything or myself.

So so guilty
I don’t know why but today I feel so incredibly angry right now and I was so frustrated with everything including my two dogs. I didn’t hurt them or hit them or anything but I was particularly annoyed and angry when they were trying to get presumably a bunny or a raccoon from underneath the shed, so I had to pull my small dog away when he wouldn’t budge away from the shed and i couldn’t pick him up because I was not close enough. I feel bad because I know I love my dogs but oh my god I just get so annoyed with them and on top of them everything else I have to just shut down all day and the things I don’t understand. I feel like I’m going insane. I don’t want my dogs to think I don’t love them because i was angry and annoyed at them. I know they’re just animals and they love me and I love them. I want them to know I’m sorry for even getting mad. I wish I didn’t feel so angry and yet so disconnected at the same time. I’m terrified I’m an evil person or that I don’t love my pets or something. I started to hit myself and punch myself because I do that when I get over the edge angry. I don’t know why I feel angry. It’s a mix of anger and emptiness and I don’t want either of them especially towards my dogs.

I harmed myself
I had the biggest emotional breakdown of my life. I don't even understand why, but because of something that bothered me the slightest bit, i started yelling SOO loudly and bad at my parents: "YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME!" I threw some things, i even ran, tried to leave the house, and i ran to my room, i hit my head and i got a bump and some really bad scratches. Afterwards i felt super guilty, i feel horrible for having made my parents feel this way, and how was it possible that I hurt myself like this? I don't understand why i reacted that way, it's so, soo bad. They hugged me and we cried for a while, but i don't understand, am i crazy?
