What outlet do you use to express or release your anger?

When i am angry about something about someone...i usually stay quiet and let time cool me off by taking a walk or doing something i usually do to relax like reading or listening to my favorite music. I prefer not to say anything at all in anger ´coz then we all know that in anger more unfriendly words are said than necessary and mostly end up regretting what was said. But i do talk it out after cooling off -and i mean talking in simple terms, exactly how and what and why. I am never able to keep negative feelings to myself -must be unhealthy to do so. When i was younger, i also tend to write down on paper my anger and had actually come up with an article or two about it for the school paper. Sometimes, when i still don´t feel like talking personally to the person concerned i also write him/her a letter - it helps then to clear things out, most of the time. But really keeping anger to one´s self is not good ´coz you will then end up in foul mood the whole time and then you get to spoil the day of the people you meet because of your mood -it can be real contagious, so better beware...the world is too wonderful to focus on the bad things in life...

Mine to release my anger I will talk to someone, I will tell him the way that I feel..the one who listens to me..and the one who give some advice. not a person to tolerate me.

I prefer talking my anger out on my maid.! she is just a great listener.I just spill everything out in front of her.Well its good when u have some one to talk to. And sometimes I eat a lot A LOT!! I am an emotional eater. and sometimes I just cry out loud to let the pain escape. Out of these I would say that crying out loud is the best option to get stress reliefed.Well that works for me the best. have a nice day.

I take it out on myself! Not intentionally, but I've had 3 near bouts with an ulser because I don't let it out. Yes, I know, ulsers are caused by viruses, but it doesn't help to have your stomach churning acid out either and my doctor tells me I need to find an outlet for my anger. Mostly, tho, I'm pretty even tempered. I do sometimes slam doors if the situation is a short duration anger, its those long, drawn out things I start self distrucing on. I have been known to yell at someone, but I don't like doing that. Ohhh, now my stomach is starting to hurt....

I will eat and write. I tend to eat a lot of snacks when I'm angry. Also, I will write a blog but normally I'll delete it after a while. Maybe it is just a way for me to release my anger and not to tell others why I am angry. Sometimes you just can't hold your anger inside yourself and you just have to take it out on something. Stress ball does help for some people. You can squeeze it a lot, pop into your bag or pocket to squeeze as you walk, catch the bus, sit at your desk or in front of the TV. I was given a stress ball to release anger when I was still with my previous company.

I normally find some inanimate object to hit and or throw. Not at anyone, just something that will make a big noise - that usually calms me down. Not the healthiest way of dealing with anger, but at least no-one gets hurt! Or sometimes I just take a deep breath and smile. May sound stupid, but you just "act" like you're not angry. And after a while, the anger subsides.

I am a house cleaner when I get angry. You have never seen a house so clean or a yard so raked. If write, I get madder. So...just get me the Lysol and I've got a REALLY clean house and my emotions and physical energy is spent then.

I do one of two things most of the time: I get in the car by myself, put in "Paradise Theater" cd from Styx, turn it all the way up and drive down country roads that are filled with pastures and horses and rose bushes. I sing at the top of my lungs, sometimes with the windows rolled down! Or, if I can't get out to do that. I take an SOS pad, and scrub the bottom of one of my pans, until all of that burnt on crud has come off and the bottom is shiny silver again.

I seldom roared at the person who made me angry, I'm always angry by myself and refuse to talk with the person until the anger gone away. And i prefer sport to release my anger.

Yeah i do get angry and i express my discomfort with people whom i am close to. Thats what they don't like as well as i am trying to avoid that. I never let my anger build up. I Will get let it out and will get normal in no time, unless that's a big issue which is of some concern. I shout at those who are close to me and then i will confess to them, during this course i will forget the reason why i am angry and get things settled down.

I walk. Things get to much I walk. I can walk for hours if I am mad enough. It gives me time to think and calm down. I find if I am angry and people push me I explode and say things I shouldn't. I just blow! So before I let that happen I just walk away and go for a long walk until I have regained my senses.

I normally scream and yell at my loved ones, actually, when I'm mad. Not normally my current boyfriend though, as he gets even more angry than me. Both of us hit things to get rid of anger, which probably isn't the healthiest thing, but it works. Nothing else has ever really worked for me. The only other thing I can do when I'm really really upset is to cry myself to sleep.

I eat! Eat chocolates. For my mind, chocolate is the best medicine to anger or dismay. I also eat many other food which can convey a sense of hapiness.I'm not a fat girl to your disapointment=) I really works on me. But now writing something may gradually become my new outlet.

I personally admit, that I have anger management problems. I get mad easily, although I try to control it. I get irritated even on small things. I'm working on it everyday, trying to control my anger. Sometimes it hurts me, because I take it out on my friends or on the people I love, when I can't control it. I'm a work in progress on anger. My preferred outlet right now is to punch a wall, or just swear. But not directly on people. I might buy a punching bag. God help me.

Whenever I feel hate, anger, grief, sadness, and pain I always try to mend it with eating foods I love and just like you I also write the things I can't voice out to others and sometimes things that puzzle me. I usually write them in my online journal in one community. Actually I entitled it "my laboratory of Pain" merely because most of my writing composition there are dark thoughts or something to do with my anger with the world. Writing is such a good outlet cause after you have write your anger you can review it and make some analization and give logic to your self. It even let us have a glimpsed of the thoughts that even us are not aware of it. I may not be a good writer but I at least I gave my whole heart in it.

I throw things but I realized that it's bad. So what I do? EAT!!! SWEETS.. it will really help!

It depends on how angry I am. If I am really angry, I cry, that is just the way I release it. Sometimes I vent to a friend, or on my blog. Sometimes I write in a notebook, sometimes I will put music on and blast it. Sometimes I take a ride in the car just to be by myself. It really depends on how angry I am and what I am angry about.

I used to throw things many years back but I came to realise that it's a very expensive way of venting my anger and frustration. So now, I would either shop (which is still quite expensive), sleep or eat junk food. Of all the different ways, retail therapy is still the best for me. I'll somehow feel very much better after shopping.

In the past, i will just unleashed everything out on the spot and it often resulted in ugly scenes happening.. After which, i start to keep it in my heart and let it build up, but it's not a solution too.. After i picked up running, it has become my source of outlet.. And it feels so good to let out everything with just 1 run.. During the run, my mind will just auto clear watever anger i have in me, and it really works wonder for me.. hehe
