What do you do when you're angry?

Question

How do you get over it?

Answer 1

I walk away to someplace where I can fume by myself. After a while I just don't care anymore.

Answer 2

I have many ways to get over anger, since it depends on how I got angry.
1) Imagine that the person or object I'm angry about getting tortured or explode.
2) Scream in my pillow in my room alone.
3) Open it up to my friends or family.
4) Make a voodoo doll, I mean it.
5) Most of the time, just breath in and out.

Answer 3

When I'm angry it depends how I act depending on who I am angry at. When I'm mad at my husband I normally let him know right away. I don't mean to act the way I act at all. I get all
b!tchy and snotty. I try to prove my point at why I'm angry and depending on what I'm mad about depends on how much yelling goes on. I always end up crying. The only way for me to get over it to cry or go to sleep. I seem to hold on to anger for along time. I dunno why. I just do.
As for anybody else I normally hold all my anger in. It tears me up inside but that's just the way I am. If you say something bad about my son or me being a bad mom, then it's like a trigger that goes off in my head and I turn into "Insta-*****". I get over this by simply going off on however said whatever
p!$$ed me off.

Answer 4

Depends on the level of my anger. Sometimes I just sit and sulk. Sometimes I throw something when no one is watching. Sometimes I hurl really ugly and hateful words in the direction of whoever provoked my anger. And sometimes, when I am really, really mad, I will cry, and that is a very dangerous and scary time. Regardless of the level, I try to back away from whatever I am mad at, and run - for miles...

Answer 5

I tried many approaches and then settled on these
1:Slow down observe the fear rising observe it in detail the churning in the stomach the pounding heart...know that I am afraid and likely to be paranoid or irational
2.Dig my heals in and do what my intellect tells me inspite of the fear.
Someone in one of my answers quoted his instructor saying"Its ok to have butterflies in the stomach,but the important thing is to have them fly in formation!!"
I remember when I was a boy[say 16] I once got very inspired and decided to face my fears and confronted a guy 6inches taller with a better "pull" in the class....it was a nice experience looking him in the eye and letting him know he could hit me but he could not make me act like a coward and that I will return blow for blow till I can.
I do not agree with that response now.
I admire the Buddha I find his methods very practical and the methods I learnt in my course of vedanta..[just google e-vedanta CIF]
Truely the great battles are all fought inside.

Answer 6

I swear a lot and try to control myself NOT to break anything around me!LOL Once I got some frustration out of my system then I sit down and try to think about something else to focus in the positive of the situation.It usually works.

Answer 7

Well first i scream a couple of times into a pillow and then punch it. Then i listen to sad music or The Used(great band) then i watch a comedy movie, write horrible things about the person that made me mad, and finally talk to my most humorous friends to get a laugh =]

Answer 8

It depends on who I'm angry with. If it's my sister , I ignore her for a while. Usually I ignore people until I can play nice.

Answer 9

we have to come to a point where we realize when our anger is justified and not dangerous to anyone, including ourselves
mostly we just need to learn to control the violent outbursts we so frequently are prone to commit...stop the fighting and start talking about how you deal with anger issues...if anger has a chance to build up..it will eventually come out as a worse form like rage...think about it...

Answer 10

I use to eat. But when I became very fat, I started walking instead and that is the best thing to do for me now. I lost the weight too. It is nice to be thin again.
