I really need some ways to release some major tension. I was just at this little party at an ex-girlfreinds place and her stupid fuckin friends and her stupid fuckin brother was there. ( I have no fucking idea why I went, it was dumb) but obviously a huge fucking drama fest happened and I need to lose some anger before I deck some poor sap in the face for no reason. god she is such a bitch too... I wont go into details but I'd like to know some techniques.... :mad: :headbang: :upyours: :mad: :gundge: :headbang: :upyours:

Find a matress and punch it until your arms feel like theyre about to fall off. Then go and kick something (preferably non-breakable).
Repeat until youre finding it difficult to stand.
Return to the matress you were punching.
Lie down on the matress.
Close your eyes and get some sleep.

Exercise is always a good way to relieve stress. It's how I got through high school. :)

Exercise is good. When you get bored with that, try a video game of sorts. Many games are perfect for taking your rage out on stuff.

Well... I guess "get laid" isn't really an option, then.

Cos there's a good stress reliever, let me tell you.

I find that works wonders - if I'm angry with the mattress. Sometimes it's impossible to displace anger onto something else. I found that the best way for me was target practice. I would take a coffee can and set it up, then get a gun. Pretending that the coffee can was the head of the person with whom I was angry, not only diffused some of my anger, but it improved my aim considerably.

Hey actually, as bad as it sounds to be angry with a firearm, I've noticed i feel allot better about things when I sling some lead. I'll think I'll do that later when I can, but for now maybe I'll use the physical abuse on an in-atimate object. Along with working out, esspecaily when listening to some hardcore music.

However, I know from experiance drinking + anger is the worst idea.

Do what I do. Sharpen steel tools. I've been working on a hatchet for the last hour on and off. Takes some concentration, and it's relaxing.

Not a bad idea. There's always satisfaction in putting a razor edge on a steel tool. Especially when fall rolls around again and you have branches to cut down.

What you should do is not let people get to you. Getting angry because of those that taunt you is not the answer, because that is exactly what they want. They want to get a rise out of you, because they subconsciously see that as a weakness, and they will ruthlessly exploit it for their entertainment. Avoiding situations where people will get you angry is the first step. If unavoidable, do not rise to the occasion, because they will only make you angry again. If you stop displaying anger, they will eventually stop also, because they no longer get any pleasure from playing on your weaknesses. This is in itself a victory for you because not only did you not get angry, you basically told your social enemies to get lost in the nicest possible way. As for releasing any pent up anger, I am afraid that outlets for anger are only a stopgap measure. The anger will build up again. Self contemplation is something that I engage in a lot. By analysing the causes of my anger, I find that by dealing with them either consciously or unconsciously, I not longer feel anger for certain things that would have once upon a time really, really made me angry. So basically, the first thing to do is not to let things get to you so easily. Ignore them. Escalation of conflict does not help at all. If you are still frustrated or stressed out, do not take it out on other people. If you do, you fail, because we all know: what goes around, comes around. What you need to do is find out what makes you angry, and fine constructive ways to avoid or reduce the amount of stress that causes you to be angry. Concentrate all your pent up energy into solving this, then you will find that all that anger no longer builds up so much. After all that, if you still have some left over, physical activity that does no harm to others is always a good thing, but I have found that, at least for me, that is not necessary.

I find to avoid huge bursts of anger I just express myself, just say how i feel about a subject and normally that solves the problem and them my anger. Then if i do get angry it's a small explosion rather than a big one.

Keep a blog specifically for ranting in. Whenever something pisses you off, rant in it until you feel you can rant no more.

I don't tend to get that angry, but when I am stressed out I usually jog around the block, it's quiet, and I get to zone out and think about other things, instead of dwelling on things that don't make me happy. By the time I have been running for a few miles my head is clearer and I can come back and deal with things in a less overly emotional way.

If I am unable to run, then I like to knit......it has a similar head clearing property, but lacks the endorphins from running.

Go to a punk/hardcore/metal show and run as hard as you can into guys as pissed off as you are for a couple of hours.
If there are no shows around get a punch bag and hit that as the mattress previously suggested has tendency to break springs which are fairly sharp and cut knuckles.

A good way to release some anger over this is to find a big cardboard box.

Then take it into the bathroom or someplace similarly comfortable. Pull down your pants, sit on the edge (carefully - don't want to crumple the edges!) and take a nice big poop.

The bonus part of this is you also release gas and solid waste, which is healthy!

Then when you're done, seal the box up and mail it to your ex girlfriend.

I know it helped me get over my similar situation.

punching walls works for me. brick is best cuz you won't put your fist through it like plaster-board but it won't mangle your hands like granite or pebble-dash does.

or if you like your hands try punching a sofa cushion. mattresses are too bouncy and don't give such a nice solid thud as cushions.

alternatively, smash up some cardboard boxes, i find jumping on them to be the most fun.

or smash some bottles if you don't mind the noise.
