I believe the answer is:

see red

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'become enraged' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'realise you must stop?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'realise' could be 'see' (synonyms) and 'see' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'red' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'but' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
