To me, it sounds like you have a very healthy approach to how you want to deal with your anger - in a way that's not harmful to anyone! Good for you

I've had a lot of pent-up anger and rage from childhood neglect and abuse, and I actually once thought of going to a flea market and buying some cheap plates or something that I could smash at home to release my anger.

My former therapist found that 'her thing' was screaming in the car while driving - obviously, you shouldn't get so upset it'd affect your driving!

I feel sprinting might do it for me, but as I'm physically so exhausted I can hardly get out of bed, I've made do with journalling - though sometimes, I have ended up hammering the pen through the paper and ripping some pages up..

I've also used mental imagery where I've confronted my childhood monsters and acted out killing them.. I know that probably sounds totally crazy, but it's just a reflection of how angry I've been. I'd never do anything to hurt anyone for real.

The most helpful way for me has probably been sharing with people who can just listen - who don't try to deny my anger or change it into something different. Sad thing is, such people arent that easy to find.. But if you have (a) trusted friend(s), you could tell them you just need to share, and for them to just say, 'OK, thank you for sharing. I hear you.' Whatever it is you need from them

I hope you find a way that works for you It's so important to get your emotional energy out so you can feel better!
