I smoke, like a chimney. Punching somebody would also really help. ---

I am usually a cool-headed person, but when I get angry you don’t want to be near me. I am very physical when it comes to venting my aggressions. When I vent my anger I first become vocal(no yelling, just talking), then I go to my room and put some music on to help me get through my feelings. If I am feeling violent, I dance around like a maniac(does wonders; no, really) and sing along with the music. Of course, if I were to do this when others were sleeping, then I would get in trouble. Then I just mouth the words and punch the air. If you have hand weights, it is much better. I have also found that listening to music that you find loud and raucous while jumping around insanely wears you out and then you just want to sleep. Also, try writing down your feelings. This has helped me through a lot of circumstances when I didn’t want those indirectly (or even directly) involved or responsible to know that I was angry or upset. Saved a lot of hurt feelings. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by wishbone_ > **Am I the only one who kicks and punches drywall?** My friend does that and gets in big trouble from his mom because of it. He is like me with the violence thing, but is much more physical. His mom just hides the holes from his dad until they can be professionally done. He hasn’t punched or kicked anything in a while, so I’m hoping he’s grown out of it. ---

Bake bread. You’ve got to really work the dough if you’re doing it by hand, so you can thump it around pretty good. Then, as a bonus, fresh-baked bread once you’ve got all the agro worked out. ---

I go run, for as long as I can, until I am totally worn out. Usually the terrain is pretty rough, and the sound of my breathing makes me stop thinking about anything and everything else, so by the time I’m back at home I’m too tired to think about being mad again. Plus when I get really angry, electrical things break. I’ve gone through 2 phones, an alarm clock and a computer, they just don’t work when I’m pissed off. So I get out of the house so I don’t have to replace anything. ---

I go on my exercise bike or rowing machine to work out the physical tension. I vent to me partner or another friend. I clean and tidy to gain a sense of acheivement. ---
