What do you do....
 

When the world keeps kickin you in the nuts and you just want to put your fist through a wall? I need some help in managing my anger at the moment and was wondering what everyone here did to keep their temper... b/c I am really on the verge of losing mine.

I curse like a sailor............ then chill out, collect my thoughts, devise a plan, and set it in motion. I have a horrid temper but I try to channel it into a positive reaction.

You could also tell someone what's bothering you.......... I'll be on later tonight if ya wanna talk!

Altho SOMETIMES anger falls into the category of "better out than in"... I believe that collecting your thoughts FIRST is of utmost importance. Things that are said (or done) in anger are often regretted later. It is always best to take a step back.. remove your self from the situation as best you can... and think things thru. Take some time for yourself... I know that when I was younger and there was a beach nearby.. it was there that I went to think things thru and gain a clearer perspective. If that isn't possible.. go for a long walk in the cool air.. clear your head..

and you do have friends here who will gladly share a shoulder (me included).

meditate, and punch a few metal objects.... you should see my car.

CB,
This is one subject that is near and dear to my heart...

I can get really excitable at times -thus the name-

What's been working for me lately is a relaxing drive (little or no traffic) with the local jazz station on the radio.

When it was warmer I also used to ride my bike.

Jennaflower had the best advice: remove yourself from the situation as best as you can. There's always the old stand by of counting to 10.

At least you're wanting to control it. That's a start.

Good luck!
