What should I do when I get too angry?

Hey everyone. Sometimes I get too angry at things like my computer and such. When this happens, I sometimes yell and scream. I wish that I did not do this but I do it sometimes. I never get violent when I am angry. What can I do to curb this behavior?

Try to use your energy on something else. Go for a walk, take a break, listen to some music etc. Something you can enjoy

HElo Cloud09! For me, there are many approaches i'm using when i get too angry here is some of the ff:
1.) Breathing exercise. Inhale and Exhale it helps me to calm down and relax.
2.) I just count 1 to 100 to settle or calm down.
3.) I just play computer games to forget my anger.
4.) I will excuse myself and go to a place with no one else and shout to release my anger.
That way (mention above) I manage to overcome my anger.
Hope this will you..

Anger is a familiar emotion for all of us. And in healthy relationships, it can be an overwhelmingly positive force in our lives. "Anger is a very healthy emotion," says Chet Mirman, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist and director of The Center for Divorce Recovery. "Healthy anger can tell us if there's something wrong -- something painful and threatening that we need to take care of. It helps us protect ourselves, and to know when people are crossing our boundaries."

i suggest run outside quickly and do some exercise. then drink lots of water. get away from computers. upgrade your computer or something. or learn patience. do yoga or try to be a buddhist for a week. STAY AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER MORE. look at some commercials on t.v. SHUT DOWN THE COMPUTER. take a warm bath. USE THE COMPUTER LESS.

or, find out what causes you to anger the most.
limit your time with it, or find what will make you happier with a situation.

I suggest you to stay calm and away from any thing that makes you angry.. take a break and go to a pleasant place such as a hill station and enjoy the nature for a while.. this will ease out the anger in you.

Ive found the less things im doing at any given time, the more prone to frustration i am. Life is just going to piss you off, that's what its good for, but if you keep all of your attention occupied, the one thing frustrating you will not be such a big portion of your attention. Im the multitask master for exactly this reason, im currently listening to music, watching tv, using the forum, playing games on face-book and myspace, and chatting... if one of the things stops working right, i got to much other crap going on at the same time to worry about the one thing not working.

Hi,


start humming any song or just speak your favorite quote and phrase or leave that place for a while. it will giv\e you time to evaluate the situation rationally and behave accordingly.

Some people insist that punching something helps. I disagree, I think it promotes indulging the anger rather than controlling it.
Exercise is helpful but works the very best for me-and trust me I have been a very angry person in the past-is tapping into my sense of humor. Laughing HARD about something is healing and also releases tension is a very satisfying way.
With Hope,

Enroll on a yoga class, it will teach you discipline and keep you away from stress. Counting 1-50 backwards had helped manage my anger, try it.
