So writing makes you sad, well sometimes you need to get to the sad part to get past the anger. Often sadness is a cause of anger because you just don't know what to do...  |

go outside and vent, take a walk and when you are in an area without people scream. Vent your anger.  |

I hope it goes away soon.....I just don't want it to stay there under my skin until later! I might go take a walk........but it has to be later because, lucky me, I'm babysitting my sister right now. Maybe there is some sadness under this right now, but I don't know which I'd rather feel right now....anger goes away faster than sadness for me and I'm just trying to get the anger away first and deal with the wave of sadness AFTER, so I'm not angry and crying at the same time.  |

Sur5r...I do control my emotions and reactions. Very well. That's why I'm writing this. I have no place to vent! Except with my parents and siblings, if I'm angry, I don't show it in the least! |

Yeah,just go for a walk, go to a deserted place, and just let it ALL out. That's what I do.  |

I'll try it. Or maybe I'll go for a drive and turn the music up a bit. Don't worry, I'll drive safely. |

when im angry , sometimes i write it out, or i will play video games. the best game to play when your mad is GRAND THEFT AUTO 3 . put in all the cheat codes and just go on a killing spree. i know it sounds bad. but its a gr8 stress reliever and your not really hurting anyone, OR YOURSELF. another thing you can do is when no one is home scream into a pillow, or punch the pillow. this is what my therapist told me to do. it does help alot. but the video game helped even better,lol.   |

Maybe, if you have any money, you can go buy a really big cheap stuffed animal and just punch that. Then they cannot say that it is there property, because you bought it yourself. Just a thought. *hugs* |

when i get angry or upset...i usually either write (i love writing. i know you said it doesnt work for you...but it does for me LOL) excercise, go for a walk, or i go out with my son or friends and just get my mind off everything for a while. watch a movie and "escape" from reality. i hope you feel better soon  |

I usually find playing some sport fixes me up. It gets rid of alot of excess tension. I get anxiety attaks really bad and I have a bad temper but after I get off of the tennis court or off the football field I feel great.  |

some of the reply's sound of really good advice, but the one thing that usually worked for me and worked well was running. if i felt down right angry i would sprint about 50 to 100 yards as fast as i could. the more i ran the more those feelings seemed to "run" out of me. you could give this a try. besides the benifits of running are healthy. |

I used to suffer from a foul temper, too. I found solace in two solutions: physical fitness and meditation. First, set up a punching bag in your backyard, or in your room. When you feel the need, hit it. You'll feel great! To meditate, read up on it. The best book is (IMHO), "Transcenental Meditation" by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. After meditating, I always feel refreshed. With these two, your bad temper will melt away entirely.  |

Ooh! Lots of great suggestions! Thanks you all! I will defnitely be using some of these suggestions next time I'm angry. I'm still suppressing some of it right now form this morning. I should do the running thing or go for a walk. What also helps me sometimesI've found out is going to a friends house, or having a friend over. They usually get me to laugh, even if they don't know what's going on. Kickboxing and/or boxing sounds like it would be good too...also Spookygal-lol! I love that idea about the grand theft auto! If only I had a playstation or some kind of video game...lol! That would be awesome. Every person I would kill....bwahahaa....yeah...anywho...I like that big stuffed animal idea Little Jung. :-D And sometimes writing does help me out, but in certain cases, it just won't do, you know? Watching a good movie is also a good idea. I'll def. look back on this post form time to time! Thanks everyone! *feels better* |

Breathe? LOL. Do you have a car? If you do, take off for a while. When I get mad, I go onto a chatroom and ask anyone if they want to get into an argument, and I direct my anger at them. When Im done and feel more human, were usually both laughing at eachother! Try that...maybe itll help.  |

Find another way to let it out, being so angry takes alot of energy.. so go jogging or for a long walk. If writing about it makes you sad, maybe you need to get that emotion out as well hun. Hope you feel better soon. -Diana aka  |
