First piece of advice is to turn off your capslock key. You’re killing me. Seriously.

Second, attacking everything that looks like a monster is a bad idea. This is true in general, but especially true in the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. There are several encounters that can be more easily and quickly handled by talking your way through it than by putting a greataxe through something’s head.

Third, most encounters are of the “putting a greataxe through something’s head” variety in that adventure. It’s a long adventure and there’s an awful lot of combat to do.

Fourth, as a Barbarian your specific role is to lay down massive amounts of melee damage in combat and be available to get hit instead of the spellcasters in your party. Do not hesitate to put your character at risk in order to prevent your Cleric or Wizard from coming to harm. Hesitation in the face of combat is unbefitting your berzerker nature. You’ll be spending some quality time underground, so many of your combat encounters will be very well suited to strong melee skills. Barbarian is an excellent main-fighter for that adventure. Enjoy!
