My anger stemmed from everything being too close and getting to me. It is kind of hard to explain. I couldn't drop negative emotion, it just built up.

Exactly. That's exactly how our son has described it and we've seen how negative emotion builds up and once it gets going he focuses on it to the exclusion of everything else. He cannot be consoled.
Actually, the idea of 'focusing on (idea, thing, person, food, want) exclusively, completely out of perspective is a life-long trait. With the advent of adult-sized rage replacing the irritability of his childhood, we see him likewise fixating on that.
As far as benzos are concerned, him being 16, they aren't going to give those to him, even if it helped.
