I love this, raging vortex! This is a really good idea.


I personally have a hard time thinking of things on my own to calm myself when I'm angry. Though I'm not sure I've tried the creative route. Perhaps I could give it a try sometime.

My tools for when I am angry that get me into a better frame of mind are as follows (and really, I need to use them more because sometimes I forget and don't know what to do with myself)...


-read something light and engaging, like a good novel.

-I exercise, take a freaking walk, or just get moving, even doing dishes.

-Change my environment, if possible, like if I'm home, leave my house.

-Talk to someone. I'm a big caller of the warm lines. I know not everyone is a fan though.

-Breathe. Just breathe.


-Crossword puzzles, wordle!

-I write down how pissed I am.

There's something else I'm forgetting. Oh well. Good thread rv.
