how to stop feeling angry

whats the best way to stop feeling angry. i punched a bloke in the face last night cos he had made a comment about me. i know its rediculous and i shouldnt have done it but i couldnt keep the rage in. i also hurt myself when im angry, this sounds bad but i actually enjoy it, i know its not particullarly normal though, im angry now and dont really have any reason to be. i dont know, sometimes i feel like im going mad

You hurt yourself?

What do you want? Sympathy?

Pfff.

You self harm? or you do stupid stuff that hurts you physically/emotionally?

If it's the former you need professional help, if it's the latter you need to stop and count to ten, and perhaps consider the consquences of such rash behaviour.

The was to stop being angry, is to get happy. How you do this is individual. Friends, having fun, getting good grades, family, whatever.

You agree with yourself? :rolleyes:

Sorry, but I had to say it.

Anyways, maybe the OP should see a counsellor about this kind of thing. It's not normal and should be looked at.

I get angry quite a lot but I've never punched anyone. Mostly I just yell if I have to, but I've found that writing things down on paper helps me a lot. Even if I don't send the letter to the relevant person I still feel better afterwards.

Get a punch bag, make sure you wear gloves though or your knucles will bleed

bottle it up, and save it for a time when you really have it to be angry, like when you accidentally spill someones drink, and then they run at you with a broken bottle, in attempt to erm, kill you.... can happen you know... :biggrin:

If i ever get angry i tend to scream into a pillow or something. Harming yourself isn't the way forward, try and find something to focus on, like others have said maybe a punchbag?
