I am just curious how other people deal with anger. I am a very irritable person, small things pisses me off, I am really ill - tempered...but that doesn't mean, I am that tough because when I get so mad, I cry a lot...when I feel down, I cry and I don't know how to keep myself from crying...i see people dealing with problems, but they don't cry, I wish I can be just like them. When I am angry, I want to shout and I want to hurt somebody but I don't do it actually, its all in my mind, but if I will be given a chance, I might be able to hurt him/her...:)... I want also to say bad words to the person who wronged me, but I can't do it because I know I will be doing it at the peak of my anger and I don't want to regret hurting somebody with what I am capable of saying when I am mad...So what I do Is, go to my room, shout in a very low voice, you get what I mean? I can only hear myself yelling, saying bad words and crying all the pain and the anger until I get tired and sometimes I fall asleep, but this really makes me sick because I will surely have a bad headache when I wake up...How about you? What do you do when your really pissed off?

Hmmm, you are really similar to my GF... she cries alot... when happy, when angry, when confuse...
for me, when I got angry.. usually I go silent.. no one can talk to me.. I just go silent.. take a deep breath, thinking of positive things from what makes me angry, and pray...
Then.. it will gone by itself..

Really? then I hope me and my GF could be a great couple like you and your husband.. Hehehe :D
I think we should always remember and implement "To forgive and forget" in our life.. I don't know if that would make every anger cool down ^_^

I am not a hot tempered person. But my bf does. And every time he gets mad, I would always pacify him and tell him to breath and drink water. It is fine to cry when you get mad because it is one way of releasing it than hitting someone or something. If you feel you are pissed off and angry, take a deep breath and try to avoid argument or quarrel by turning your back right away and drink water. When your mad and you have uttered some unpleasant words, and the person you have said those words answered back, then avoid not to reply anymore because it will be useless.

I really do try and walk away from the situation. Anger is really not healthy a lot of the time and just taking some time to cool off is going to be for the best. So I need to get away from the thing that is making me angry. Whether is just leaving the place or going to another end of the room. There needs to be some time for my mind to get cooled down and get ready to move on with my day.
Taking a deep breath and just thinking about things is the best way to deal with my anger. There are going to situations that really irritate me, get me upset, are a mild annoyance and that is just something to deal with. However, it does need to lead for a little time for me to deal with my anger. That way, I can relax my mind and go off to think on the situation logically. It is amazing how something like that can be defused with such a simple solution.

hi chelzeea,
yes, i always deal with anger,
coz if im angry with someone,
anyone will affected,
so if i feel that i am angry,
i will close my eyes,and think some happy experienced i had,
then open my eyes, and exhale.
sometimes i go to rest room and shout out loud to release my angry feelings.

When i am angry i tend to go and shut myself off out of the way from people as i find this is the easiest way to deal with my anger.I do find that if something has been biting at you for sometime it is better to tell the person who has upset you or made you mad, rather than keeping it to yourself and then exploding.If a friend of mine gets angry her bp go up, then she turns red like she is having a hot flush and then sometimes she ends up being sick, so now she is learning not to get mad.

Going somewhere where no one can hear me and just screaming really helps me calm down when I'm angry. I think it's good to let those emotions out, however briefly. I feel better, and I'd certainly rather scream at nothing then take my emotions out on someone else. Yelling while taking a shower is especially nice since the warm water is very relaxing.

when i get really angry (and that seldom happens, lol), i go for a walk--to a beach or a mall--and try to keep my mind off the crazy thing/somebody that made angry. sometimes, i'd write it down. venting off helps to calm my nerves and soothes my mind. sometimes, i'd have my favorite chocolate ice cream as a means to pamper myself a bit. these things may not work for some people, but they do for me. i'm not the type who would scream or get physical when i'm angry, i just try keep diverted for a few hours. talking with a good friend also helps, though i try to avoid as much as i can coz i don't like to burden other people with my own troubles, lol.

the mall and shopping will really divert your attention but the beach i think makes one sadder and lonelier

When I get angry, I'll really lose control sometimes. But at times, I'll just keep quiet and look at my computer.

I like to just walk away and be by myself for a while. that is usually the best course of action for me to take. that way i will not say or do something out of anger that i will regret.

My own methods for anger or irritation is usually classified under two types - the free activities and the activities that involved money or spending money. My free activities is usually shutting myself from people, giving snide remarks, reading or re-reading books, window shopping,being a couch potato or surfing the internet. My money related activities usually involved shopping (books, mostly), going to the arcade to find a substitute to release my anger, exercising at the gym, and joyriding.
In your description, I pretty much do the same things but sometimes I feel that they are person who deserve a good thwack from me. I don't claim that I will resort to violence every time but I feel that I don't deserve to be burdened by pain, frustration that other people brought before me.

I am also a person whose personality is urgent.Whether do what thing hope can quickly finish,and that has made me become a grumpy,temper easily.But I,this person,temper easy come,easy go,needn't do what,before long I will automatically give it to the forget and,perhaps because I hasn't a very good memory,the unhappy things easily forgotten.

When I'm angry, I make myself busy and try to forget what had happened. In that way I can make myself calm a little don't just try to talk to me and ask about the problem. I want to be very careful about talking to other people because I might say something that might hurt them. And lastly, I play games on my computer to ease the heat of anger out of me, I also put on my radio while playing to help the anger subside.
