I usually go for a walk and stargaze. Unfortunately that hasn't helped on this particular occasion and I still want to cave someone's skull in with a rock. What are your personal anger defusing methods?
Literally screaming, guttural sounds are preferable...going to my closest friends and talking about it and last resort, yet highly effective extreme physical exertion.
@Peaceful You may have a point, I need to find a decent physical outlet somewhere. My blood pressure is through the roof, I've got some pretty intense pulsatile tinnitus going.
I'll either do something physically strenuous or sit very still somewhere alone and consciously try give myself a 'stand down'. I cannot be with anyone when I am seething angry.
@SW-User Around here? Lolno. That actually got the first chuckle out of me since I've been seething, so seriously thanks for that. The roads and sidewalks here are horribly uneven due to earthquakes and it's dark. Running now would be a recipe for accidental injury.

@UndeadPrivateer now that you have your first chuckle maybe watch something funny that can occupy your mind until the worst passes.
Lift weights, run the roads or smack up the punching bag. I keep going until I have no energy to be angry any more. Its hard to be angry when you're exhausted lol.
@UndeadPrivateer Or even just get like a sack and fill it up with old clothes/rags and sand/dirt + some gloves. As long as whatever you're hitting doesn't break lol. Its a good investment though. Hope you feel better though, man, stay frosty.
Get away from the situation. Walk off the anger for how ever long it takes. Though these days I do not stay in the situation long enough to get to seething point.

I sleep or blast some music and try to stay out of trouble.
Walking and stargazing sounds about right. I also cook or clean, or listen to satisfyingly loud music while shooting people online. Sometimes playing music but rarely. Also a drink or two helps. I never drink when sad but angry? Sure. Whiskey is good for angry.
Long walks, and lots of open space where no one or any breakable objects are in my sight. Put my headphones on and blast some heavy hard hitting deathcore full volume, and sometimes I destroy my punching bag too.
@UndeadPrivateer my mom does that to my little brother a lot as well even if he were to fall and hurt himself and im always just thinking damn hes a little boy let him cry, i understand not wanting your son to he a "punk " and cry for anything (like me 😊) but still lol its ok for them to cry at times nothing wrong with that
Various methods... I can usually bottle my anger up well enough to divert energy flow to more creative and constructive outlets. However, in a rare flash of fury and rage, I might be more inclined to:
- grab a belt and whip the shit outta my mattress - make animal noises - want to break stuff but then find a dark place to hurt myself instead - get in my car (bad idea, could be dangerous) and find a park to hide in, screaming to loud music on the way over - cry - masturbate
@UndeadPrivateer Good luck with yer drinkin'! We can only try our best. I like to play with my cat when feeling shitty. He enjoys it... This is like passive advice-giving lmao you're strong tho
@lovelywarpedlemon I'm just trying my best not to snap again, honestly. Because I know from the past each successive snapping gets increasingly intense.
@UndeadPrivateer That tends to be the case, I've found, in my own internal struggles and being a witness to others'... For those unsolvable issues... Not sure I can give any advice you haven't heard. Reach out to those who are there for you. And we're here for ya. Whatever that means.
I go for a brisk walk, or...there are some piano pieces I can only really play well when I’m furious, like this one... [media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZY5DBmgC_A]
Lol playing GTA but not by missions but killing as many cops as I could and try to live through the 5 star wanted level, makes me realise I have serious anger issues 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣@BabyLonia

I have learned ways to lessen it quick. It doesn't affect me the way it used to. That doesn't give anyone a license to fuck with me though.
