best of luck brah

Good quote man appreciate it!!!!!!!

I think it helps to look back at the times I have "gone off"
and that helps me remember the regrets. I've done many stupid things on a rage. I pray too, I hope he does well, I will pray for him. Any one that doesn't believe in God, please don't take offense.

If theres no way to do that, I usually take my friends mini bat and smash the f*ck out of boxes.

masturbate with such ferocity that i shift earth's orbit approximately 30 km further from the sun, use up all the gas and **** you want guys, no need to thank

oh but seriously i just hit the bag for an hour, or i tell the person who's pissed me off WHY what they did pisses me off and usually it fixes things (remember don't sound like a bitch while doing this)

[Junonuting]

i lift weights and then i talk to myself out loud while im walkin back to the barracks, it helps, i love that feelin after u torture urself in the iron dungeon, that helps soooo much!!

[gmenfan40]

After thinking about it, i might have to start smoking weed to settle down my anger. It's really bad. (serious)

Your friend needs to intellectualize his thoughts of rage so he can realize how stupid it is to thrash about. Seriously, when im pissed i will just pace around and as soon as i think of something to intensify my anger, i quickly stop because i am only feeding my anger in an attempt to become more inraged. Instead, i will walk around my neighborhood/backyard and try to rationalize my emotions (nearly impossible) but it helps me. It gets to a point where i become frustrated with the situation, eventually accept it (man up), and continue/pursue my life

Or he can seek revenge but this typically does not end well if he has any moral objections but revenge does feel damn good

Go to gym, listen to music. Before..... you don't wanna know.

[Ripped Mass]

i punch holes in things

[Pretty Boy Floyd]

I honestly just complain to myself in the mirror/car

[stealth_swimmer]

most of the time I just think in my head "ok, is getting mad gonna help me at all in this situation? Will it make things better? Will it fix things or help achieve my goal or get me closer to it? Will the consequences be worth it and will they help me?"

Usually the answer is "no, it won't help" so therefore I don't do it. Or rather, I'll get upset but I just FEEL upset...I don't act on my emotion in those cases cus I know it won't help me.

I never used to...I used to punch/throw whatever was closest to me...I grabbed a picnic table by the seat and flipped the whole thing over...Punched a dent into the side of my old truck...Punched the **** out of a plate steel fender on my trailer...threw a chair in front of my girlfriend...I finally stopped when I punched a wall in anger and managed to hit the stud, and shattered 2 of my knuckles.

Crazy when I look back at how stupid I was...I can't imagine myself doing that kind of ****.

i punched a brick wall once almost full force. felt like i almost shattered every bone in my hand. its was so swollen and skin was hanging of all my fingers. my knuckles still hurt really bad till this date anytime i hit something.

now here is an old demon of mine. up until two years ago i was constantly consumed with anger. for the slightest reason i would start a fight or do something totally irrational . . i had no control over my anger whatsoever. i pulled a guy out of his car at 3pm on a saturday and kicked the s*:t out of him while everyone was shopping ect. this and other incidents led to me being in court with the possibility of serving time! at this stage i was seeing psychiatrists about anger management and the use of drugs to control my anger!
i decided not to continue seeing these shrinks as these guys would only convince you that you have seerious problems and to be honest they were not much help to me. so to help me control my anger i decided to avoid putting myself in situations that made me angry - like going out partying and drinking, kept driving to a minimum (that damn road rage) and i avoided situations that i thought had the potential for trouble. with this extra time on my hands i began to focus more on the gym, my training and my diet and over time i was able to contain my anger until i hit the gym! training hard also made it harder for me to be constantly wound up and looking for trouble!
so how do i control my anger? well i just try my best to contain it until i have somewhere to release it (the gym)! now that im bouncing in a nightclub every weekend i can also release some there anger is not a bad but how we use our anger can be! anger really becomes a problem when we contain it for too long and i find regular releases of it in controlled enviroments is the only way to prevent it from becoming a genuine problem!

I actually don't know what changed; I used to be very quick to anger when i was younger but now I'm incredibly calm. I blame puberty for making me overly aggressive for a couple years haha.

...could also be the vast quantities of pot I smoked. Permanently mellow now haha.

[ethfms]

just ignore it

I found something that works fairly good for me. I actually learned it from a trainer i used to workout with. I just keep a rubber band around my wrist on days where i'm feeling angry. When I start to get upset I just smack the **** out of my wrist with the rubber band and it seems to instantly take the anger away 99% of the time.

I also normally just keep it deep down and it normally subsides on it's own...I've always been an extremely difficult person to piss off though...Once in a while that "little ball" explodes and I flip **** on someone...but that is literally once every 12-18 months.

keeping it in my mind will let it die down

If I feel like I am about to lose it I hit the bar. Or have angry sex, it is great.
