How do you vent? I used to harm others, but I'm getting better about it. Now I take it out on objects or myself. I promised my boyfriend not to harm myself since he disliked it, but what do I do with such energy?

Use to have a wood stove so I'd go split fire wood.

I struggle daily with outbursts of frustration. I am a big time yeller. I am more likely to harm myself than others, whether it be by accident while frustrated or on purpose.
I'm getting better about it, but the feelings are just so overwhelming at times.

Yes they can be very hard and I hope it gets better for you

I yell scream and throw stuff or take it myself as well. I try to catch it before it gets to a bad point. I feel like that's the only way for me to gain some control. Once I'm out of control its too difficult to think semi reasonable.
Distractions help when I'm starting to feel pissy. Cleaning/scrubbing something is something I also do. If it's cold out going outside without a coat and taking a few deep breaths. Music can help. AnYthing physically exerting that's not harmful helps. I have also noticed that if you regularly participate in something physical your less likely to feel intense anger. Not sure that works for everyone tough.
Im still trying to find many more ways. Anger is a big issue for me.

Cleaning sounds like a good way to vent, it would be quite the bonus if it works out. I'm rather lazy and get distracted easily so if I had something to give me energy for it would be good, but idk how hard it would be to direct that energy. I will try it though

Music helps in MANY ways.
Sometimes I sing angry songs at the top of my lungs for hours on end until I'm exhausted and finally fall asleep. Sometimes I use it to kick me into gear, amps me so I can start cleaning or running maniacly. Music, I use it for many things.

I used to throw things, break things, stab things, trash things pretty bad through out my teens. Then at 19 I became a mommy and had to stop and get creative for fear of scaring the shyt out of my daughter...

Try music for motivation, Idk how effective it is in general, but all music lovers I know respond very well to this method.

I hit myself, pull at my hair, cry. Not the healthiest way but I'm not very good at healthy.

[GeorgiaGirl413]

I tear things. I keep old rags just for this purpose.

[technigal]

I yell, sometimes I throw things.

[LoLaLoLa]

if it is too intense and i can't do anything else i will cry..and cry...and cry..
i hate pain..so i won't harm myself..
i am not violent..so i won't harm others..
i got angry easily..i think it's more like a rage.. sometimes i got angry just because of people in front of me walk slowly..i always think it would be great if i can just push them from the stair..or yell real loud and cursing them..actually i did all those cruel stuff..but inside my mind only

Funny story related to this. My child, who is 11, is a gamer like me. (the older one is too but that's another story) Well he has a habit of pounding on the keyboard when he's frustrated with a game. The other night it was getting late and he did this. Explaining to him taht other people live in our building, I told him he needs to get off the computer. anyway... won't go into that fiasco but the funny part is about an hour later, my game was p*ing me off and I did the EXACT SAME THING! At this point he was playing again so.. he just looked over at me with a smirk on his face .. Gosh I hate being convicted by an 11 yr old

Truth is though I don't do that often. At least I have that.

LOL, nothing like getting schooled by your kid. My kid is 8 and he is always catching me doing/saying things that I shouldn't.

I play dubstep in my room to help clean and to distract myself. I have good speakers so I get to hear and feel the bass pretty well. Maybe I should start a music list on my phone and listen to it in public to avoid any meltdowns (with ear buds).

So glad you added that! Was at the bus station yesterday and some idiot was playing dubstep on this massive speaker he was carrying around. I've never been more grateful to someone getting a different bus to me!!

I KNOW RIGHT? I always kid with my boys... when they do something like make sarcastic jokes to me. I ask "where do you get that from?" They adamantly say "YOU, DAD." I'm like "no, it must be your mother." lmao. She asked me on the phone last I talked to her "why did you tell them I'm crazy?" lol. Had to explain that to my ex... "It was jokingly " smh... Ok I went off on a tangent there. but anyway..

Sometimes I cut, although I've really been working to handle that rage I feel more effectively. I sometimes try and distract myself with cleaning, organizing, just something to take my mind off of my anger. Then I try and think about it when I'm not as angry and try to figure out the best way ahead. I vent to my boyfriend. I accept that I can't change it and let it subside. I have to remind myself that I won't always feel that rage and it will pass.

I tell my son that he is silly like his dad because I am not silly at all, said when I am doing something silly. lol

Music, deep breathing, Long walk outside with headphones on

Ripping some fabric is also very satisfying. really I'm dying to throw objects and break stuff, but I dont

[dumburn]

I have to take it as far away from other people as I can. I usualy leave the house with the dogs, slamming evey door as I go and head to the beach where I let the dogs loose and I can scream and shout and no one can hear me. I flail about kicking and punching the air like im possessed by the devil,
When I start to become aware of how far it is to walk home and notice I figure I'm calm and reasonable enough to be part of society again

[Phreak]

Internalise it, hate myself, and die a little more inside each and every day.
