I use to fling things and yell at anyone and anything that was in my vicinity.. Then self harm happens.

This is what I have learned.. Coping skills and meditation needs to be done daily not just when all hell breaks loose. Yes it is not easy, not at all.

When whatever has happened to trigger a blow up....

Stop.

Breathe deep, feel how the air feels flowing into your bronchial tubes and further into your lungs.. Yeah sounds weird but it works.

If you feel like you are just going lose it .. Remove yourself from what is causing the irritation.

Take a fast walk,jog,run.. situps, pushups any exercise that will burn off the anger.

90 % of the time I can bring down a blow up before it happens.

I'm funny about food being wasted , and I don't even really like food , go figure .

Good luck!
