Anger Management

i'm angry, it was a nice game of 8 on 5 (spurs and 3 refs vs. the lakers)...3-2-1, 1-2-3 what the hell is bothering me?

Now for my serious anger management solution.
When I'm angry, I usually just cry it out and when I'm still upset I might just call up someone and just talk and get my mind off of whatever made me angry. Not necessarily talk about what made me angry. I also listen to some music. So, I never hit my hand through the wall because the PAIN will piss me off even more. :-)

I know some people like to go to sleep when they're angry, but I can never do that because when it's quiet and you try to fall asleep, don't you continue thinking about whatever made you angry? So, that whole "take a nap" thing doens't work for me.

Yeah, the anger keeps eating out your mind. ugh... I never ever ever go to bed with the intention to sleep when I'm angry. I know I can't. It's pointless. What's more, it makes things worse. I keep thinking and thinking about what's making me angry, play out different scenarios in my mind, it's just awful. Terrible. I used to drink a cuppa whiskey and watch TV when everyone went to sleep, that's the only time I get to have some peace, after all... that makes things much better, actually. Sitting in the dark, watching TV.

And, eating eating eating. I've put on 20 lbs this week alone. Serious. I eat a lot when I'm sad or angry. It sucks. I eat when I'm sad, I eat when I'm angry, I eat when I'm in love, heck, I always eat.

Strange how no one mentioned that it helps to talk to someone close about whatever made or makes you angry.

[jilbagh]

uhhhhhhhhhhhh ok

[Darorinag]

Haha SagGal, yes, but that wouldn't apply to all situations, particularly the not uncommon situation of the close person BEING the cause of the anger.

Have you hit 100 yet?

Ahhh looks like the African diet isn't working. I just had a hearty meal. So grand. So good. So fullfilling. I'm loosening my belt as we speak.

RRRRRRIIIIIIGGGGGGHHHHHHTTTTT. Gotcha.

How about instead of eating when you're angry, you get some excericse. Put that anger into some good use and lose those extra lbs.
