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?

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 That's pretty much where I am right now. Sitting alone and doing my best to just stand down. I tried to peacefully engage and it just worked me up more.

@UndeadPrivateer you need to get it out physically then. Can you go for a run?

@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.
