How do u keep yourself from doing something you'll regret when your angry?

Question

what about if u cant get away from the situation

Answer 1

Take a few deep breaths and pray a quick "Help me, God!" prayer.It does wonders.

Answer 2

I just walk away real fast before I say something that I can't take back! It helps to diffuse the situation and I have time to think,clear my head, and "cool down", before I decide to come back and face the music. Usually it's a situation at work.

Answer 3

People who know me find that I tend to walk away from the situation knowing that I'll eventually come back to discuss why something made me angry.
If you act while within an emotion; you may just regret it later.

Answer 4

I lock myself in my room, lie down, close my eyes and listen to soft music. It really cools me down. Sometimes I try to write everything in my diary, but often I'm too angry to write anything comprehensively and I start scribbling, but anyway it keeps me from doing anything silly.

Answer 5

I count to 10 and walk away to go a be somewhere private and by myself.

Answer 6

I picture myself having to share a cell with Big Marge and her broom handle.

Answer 7

I listent to music or talk to someone that will listen to me vent. Or I write in my journal because it makes me feel better after.
