What do you do when seething with anger?

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 Yeah, did the verbal outburst that included 'screaming,' though far more of a growl than scream. I fucking wish I had something to physically exert myself on in an emotionally satisfying manner.

@UndeadPrivateer punching bag, makeshift bunch of pillows. There's a way..

@Peaceful No punching bag, the source of my fucking anger at the moment would undoubtedly bitch about tearing up things and throwing tantrums if I were to start punching a pile of pillows. I'm currently just doing my best to channel it inward so I don't explode again.

@UndeadPrivateer nope, get it out physically. You have to.

@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.

@UndeadPrivateer it is imperative. :(
