letting it out?

ive never had a chance to express my anger towards someone. now i feel restless. i feel i need to let it out. ive never been really mad.

does anyone know some ways to let it out?

Joe, you can let it out but you can also learn to find what is behind the anger, what is the trigger.? Do you have a therapist you can talk to?

Other anger management tools.
Breathing exercise with natural breathing do not force.
If you are feeling very anxious or angry or just want to calm down, you can try a breathing exercise that takes the attention away from the trigger of anxiety to a simple tool of counting breaths.

Find a comfortable position seated or laying down. Begin to relax your breathing. Silently count 1 on the inhale, and two on the exhale. Then silently count 3 on the inhale and 4 on the exhale. Continue up to 10 or until you lose the count then return to one. No judgement. I sometimes end up at 18 then smile and return to 1. The idea is to focus on the breath and the counting and not get sucked into the anxiety or anger trigger. Also works to quiet the mind.

I have to watch what I eat because foods I eat can stabilize my moods or exaggerate them. A high protein low carb diet with snacks or meals every 3-4 hours will over time reduce my swings. I also avoid alcohol and recreational drugs because those can really increase depression.

Other lifestyle changes that help me are doing yoga, exercises, mindfulness, calm music, and being active on Psych Central.

punch a pillow

ripping paper, lots of it, newspaper is good and messy

I don't know of any healthy ways of relieving Anger. and i get a lot of it.

in my delusions that people read my thoughts, i feel people are mean to me too much about my thoughts and i can't always handle it.

but i used to be able to contain my anger by writing in a diary that i called "Frustration". that was during a time period though when i knew exactly when i would become angry/frustrated and it was right after school. so it was a scheduled thing. with my anger issues today i am not sure i could be calm enough to even think about doing that. but actually it helped me a LOT i think i will try that again! LOL

haha. i used to do that a LOT (for a little while there). i would rip paper up and throw it all around. sometimes random paper, sometimes paper with special meaning! i also like to rip up paper and smoke tobacco from it (because i smoke cigs anyway! LOL)

Try writing letter and let it rip;just don't send it.

yes writing it down does wonders. keep up with the journal. good luck

I agree. I find journaling to be a big help. And I use an electronic one so that I can password protect my thoughts.

Best wishes, Gayle
