Hey everyone, I am just curious...

 

How do you relieve feelings of anger?

Does this tactic depend on the source of the anger (whether it be arguing with creationists who claim victory at the end due to lack of knowledge on their behalf, someone taking out their anger on you for no reason, a rare incident ruins a perfectly thought-out plan, a bad day in general, etc)?

 

I sometimes just feel like embedding some dude into a Jupiter size planet and then throwing that planet into a star which will then gain the necessary qualifications to become a black hole (not too sure if that is even possible, though with additional surges of epinephrine, i could really care less)... but I digress.

I think the best thing that helps quell my rage is exercise, though sometimes the source of the rage is so unbelievably vexatious that exercise does nothing...
My plan B from there is eating. I like eating. If I already have a full stomach though, I'm in trouble. haha

If you can find a place when no one can hear you then try what I do when it gets too bad...A Good Loud Primal Scream! I don't remember the particular studies on it but it has been known to work. Something to do with the release of certain chemicals in the brain and body which greatly reduce stress. Possible side effect is you could cause throat irritation, to me well worth the vent.
I can really lose it when I'm angry. I usually implode when I get angry, though sometimes I scream at stuff that is annoying me at that time(the poor computer gets a lot hate). Sometimes I like to hit stuff, I've punched walls, electricity poles and stuff.
Guess I don't have a healthy way of relieving my anger.
Get yourself a good heavy bag from a sporting goods store...much easier on the knuckles...I speak from experience and have the scars to prove it.

I have a punching bag, but the house I live in atm doesn't have a place to hang it in :<. And I don't need reminders not to punch hard stuff, done some damage myself :)

I have a scar on my knuckle from when i punched the edge of a mirror, almost cut the tendon on my finger which would have rendered it useless...

it's funny because i wasn't mad at that moment, i was just fooling around haha

lol, I broke a knuckle on my right hand when I punched a wall(there was a knuckle shaped depression in the wall so I don't know who came out worse in that exchange :P). That was on sunday night. Then from monday thru friday I had 7 one hour tests & it was a bitch to write. Of course like any rageaholic it took me a few more knocks to learn my lesson.
