Not well. Grr....
-
I take my football outside, pick a tree as a target, and throw the ball better than Peyton Manning. ...well, at least harder at any rate.
-
punching bag and running until im exhausted. Therapy didnt do shit for me.
-
I need plenty of peace and quiet to stay calm while being angry at something/someone. I'm a pretty bad tempered person, so I don't want to just let it out to anybody that comes around.
-
I count to 10 or 100 if I have to. I figure a good way to relax after I cool off, I put it in perspective. If it is something I need to say to get my feelings out, I SAY IT rather than stuff it and hold it in. If I don't let it out, I will continue to be angry and it will not go away for long. I think also if I want to be right or I want to be happy. Usually, fighting or getting angry over stuff is not worth it. So I let it go and decide to let the other person/people fight if they want, unless it is something VERY important to me and I feel further discussion will do any good.
-
I leave the situation and go for a bath and put happy music on until i calm down and i always try and think before i speak although when i was younger i spoke first then thought which wasnt really a good thing to do but i got better as i got a bit older
-
I try to think about the reasons for anger and understand the importance of understanding other peoples circumstances before exploding. I try to correct the situation in one of two ways, to either take some means of repression (let it go and wipe it off)or in some cases act to limit the cause of the anger, and should it be in another person - to possible talk about it or take steps to punish the individual. Though the punishment has more of a self-satifying effect, yet talking about it as a first step is my policy.
-
How I vent my anger: 1. Go for a hard, long run. 2. Sleep 3. Eat 4. Cry 5. Punch something or someone. 6. Scream, into my pillow. 7. Say something evil to someone, and regret it later.
-
Count to 10. Scream when no one is around. Jogging. Jumping on my giant trampoline. The beach. Swimming. I love them all when i get stressed i think i just plan a day of this!
-
I ask myself if IT is worth being angry about, sometimes it really isn't worth it to me after all. I also try and figure out am I angry or am I hurt over something. Then too, I have to ask, do I have all of the correct information to base my anger on? Working traffic with SDPD for a number of years, gave me a WHOLE NEW BIG PICTURE about anger and taught me to stop and look inside at it, before opening my mouth...about 90% of the time I manage to practice this successfully. That ugly 10% I try to just say that I'm angry and that I need space to calm down, before I open my yap and say something stupid and hateful...then I try and go away and think about it in more positive ways! Music is my dear friend!
-
a few things #1: use the emotion for raw energy (don't say i'm crazy because it actually works) #2: hold it in until later, like a dam #3: get a theripist or someone who does the job just as well #4: sit in a nice quiet place all alone with a "do not disturb" sign.

I run lasar radar a lot. the area i cover is a straight stretch of open highway one and one half miles long. the posted speed limit is 55 mph. some vehicles have registered 85 to 100 mph, in radar. in order to stop these vehicles, i sometimes have to go 100 to 120 mph. needless to say, my adrenalin is pumping and my blood pressure is at the boiling point. it upsets me that these drivers endanger everyone's life around them, including mine. How do i deal with this anxiety/anger? i sit in my car and count to 30, before exiting. it gives my pressure time to settle and come back to reality, before approaching the violator. This works for me and has for many, many years. Counting, before acting, is the key.

Celexa. Ambien. Beer. Sex
-
Realize that I am resonsible for my emotions. No one can make me feel how I feel. It is my choice.
-
I don't God tells me to calm down. Then he says take a deep breath and take it easy this isn't the end of the world, no reason to get upset. One time he told me to say "God loves you and so do I" to the guy who just cut me off. Another time he told me to say "peace be with you" to the person I despised most in the world.
-
i complain and i run
-
Depends on what made me angry. If it is just everyday stuff, hair wont do right, car wont start, burn the toast, etc. I just take a breather and get over it. But if some one verbally abuses me in a store or on the street or physically attacks me, I wade in with both feet and dont let go 'til it thunders.
-
Workout. Its the best stress/anger reliever in the world.
-
I usually bottle up most of my anger, I'll admit it, but if things seriously get on my nerves and I can't get it off my mind, I usually sprint. I just go outside and sprint as hard and as fast as I can.
-
Change what I'm thinking about. Works every time.
-
I take a deep deep breath and slowly exhale. Sometime it takes more than one exhale!!
-
I am not easily angered but when I get angry I don't usually control it that well. I guess I just don't get enough practice. I do try to keep what I say under control because I have a habit of slicing people up with my tongue. It's one of the things I am most talented in, unfortunately.
-
I yell I know that is not very good anger control but atleast I am not throwing or hitting things.
-
I separate myself from my emotional state. It helps keep things in perspective, and makes me less likely to say or do something that I would later regret.
-
I don't, and therefore I am currently seeing an anger therapist. She pisses me off so much... argh!!!
-
I stuff it way down deep
-
2 or 4 large brandys
-
I take myself completely out of the situation or away from the person who's making me mad.... In the end... there's not alot that you can't get over in just a few minutes. If you don't get over it, it's probably really something to get mad about!
-
put a hole through the health room wall...none of you would get that though...
-
Xanax.

Anger Managment courses
-
Muzzle and spurs Also know as deep breath and counting to ten or twenty or thirty .... Important thing is to recognise the physical response and then take the time to examine the intellectual/emotional response to determine who you are angry at/with, why you are angry - is it really anger or it is disappointment or some other emotion, that gives you time to decide upon a course of action. You may even choose not to be angry. (Important note to remember - you will find that your response will be your own - no more blaming others for making you angry, or sad or anything else - you will own your own self!). This take practice and you have to own your own emotions and emotional response, you have to take time to practice. It doesn't come easy, but the results can be wonderful. Imagine being in control of yourself and owning your own emotinal control and output.
-
imagine the consequences if you get out of control.
-
Well, sometimes I'm gonna have to just scream, or do something seriously physical like punch something, but not harming anyone, not even the one that made me that mad. At school, I would borrow my friend's flexible rular and bend it a whole bunch of times.^^;
-
Most things don't bother me enough to get angry over, and the things that do...well, I bitch!
-
I put on huge earphones and turn the volume up to the max. It kinda drowns out my thoughts. Which is soo good. And then I do whatever, sing, shout, scream into a pillow, punch my bed, grab a pair of scissors and slaughter a magazine or the yellow pages. Have sex. Dance. I roll the blinds down, turn off all the lights, and just dance in the dark. No-one can see me. If people can hear me, I don't even know about it. Sometimes I lay down on my bed and just kick the shit out of it. For music, Linkin park, korn, any screamo of power ballads, evanescence... anything that gets the rhythm going. Good luck. Just get it out. It's better than to keep it in. Exploding is better than imploding. =)
-
By meditating and secluding myself as much as possible until it blows over.
-
i have a near unbelieveable temper but once you get me pissed i do one of two things "1" i go to my room and turn off everything then block the lights get it as quiet and dark as possible and sit in the corner waiting to calm down, "2" i spare with my friend till one of use is beaten to a bloody pulp.
-
It can be OK to release anger in a controlled way e.g. making your point firmly.If you feel you are over-reacting-lashing out with fists or shouting too much at people,you need to take a deep breath before you speak or walk away.I have also heard of anger management classes-there is little in my area,but may be more in yours.
-
think happy thoughts
-
you can channel the energy to something creative not destructive..like if youre angry because somebody tells u you're stupid...you can make use of it as a motivation to be better, to study harder... or you can jst simply put to use the energy by punching ur pillow or any non-living things at hand. :D
-
I breath deeply to reduce the tension in my body...and I change whatever I am thinking to something related but positive. For example, I will ask myself how big this issue will seem a week (a year) from now. Usually that helps. Or I talk to myself (in my head) and remind myself that nothing and no-one has the power to make me lose control. That is a choice....to control myself or....!
-
I run and with every pounding step I imagine whatever is making me angry is under my foot.
-
I take Xanax every day, otherwise I get into trouble of some sort. There will always be some jerk who thinks they can say and do anything for a laugh without getting his throat sliced open. For this reason I find it a matter of self preservation to medicate, meditate and take my frustrations out on answerbaggers who ask for it. Also, once or twice a week I play my guitar or my bass for a few hours each session, that gets me into a more positive forward motion and balances out the feelings of negativity.
-
try screaming "serenity now!" and when you find out that that doesn't work, scream "hoochie-mama!"
-
Attempting to "manage" anger confirms it's validity and increases it's power. Simply observe the emotion. Don't analyze or try to "do" anything with it. Don't LABEL the emotion either. Simply observe it.
-
Violence and self abuse. ;-) (I'm SO joking!)
-
Channel you anger. Take it out on something that will help you in long term. Think like, "I'm so angry that I'm going to run 10k and take it out"
-
keep it inside till it turns into depression and cry it all out.
-
When I feel myself getting angry, I try to stop and think about why I am angry and what am I really angry about. often it's not the event or situation that triggered it but something much deeper.
-
I don't really get angry at anything anymore. At least not enough to do anything drastic or stupid.
-
i take it out on my children just kidding i love them and never would hurt them, but I take my anger out on my pillow
-
Count to ten.

Find positive ways to release your rage: talk to somebody, punch a punching bag, scream into your pillow, listen to running water, listen to calming music, exercise, there is a plethora of options you can use to help reduce and control your anger.
-
Give yourself a "time-out"...take some deep breaths. You need time to cool down before you do anything about it. You'll find giving yourself to think it through first will help you make the best decision for what you do next.

-
Do something you like, something you're enthusiastic about. Like listening to some relaxing music. Try to say something to calm yourself. For instance, "Why must I get angry? What's the point of getting a stomach full of madness and ruining my mood in doing something? " Learn to be patient in anything even of those beyond your control. If something had happened, there's of no use to craze and rage over it. Face the inevitable and boggles up your mind to fix it rather than worsening the situation.

According to Leland R. Beaumont, each instance of anger demands making a choice: * Respond with hostile action, including overt violence * Respond with hostile inaction, such as withdrawing or stonewalling * Initiate a dominance contest * Harbor resentment * Work to better understand and constructively resolve the issue Views of ancient philosophers Seneca addresses the question of mastering anger in three parts: 1. how to avoid becoming angry in the first place 2. how to cease being angry and 3. how to deal with anger in others. Seneca suggests: 1. In order to avoid becoming angry in the first place, Seneca suggests that the many faults of anger should be repeatedly remembered. One should avoid being too busy or deal with anger-provoking people. Unnecessary hunger or thirst should be avoided and soothing music be listened to. 2. In order to cease being angry, Seneca suggests "one to check speech and impulses and be aware of particular sources of personal irritation. In dealing with other people, one should not be too inquisitive: It is not always soothing to hear and see everything. When someone appears to slight you, you should be at first reluctant to believe this, and should wait to hear the full story. You should also put yourself in the place of the other person, trying to understand his motives and any extenuating factors, such as age or illness." Seneca further advises daily self-inquisition about one's bad habit. 3. In order to deal with anger in others, Seneca suggests that the best reaction is to simply do nothing quickly. Certain kind of deception, Seneca says, is necessary in dealing with angry people. Galen basically repeats Seneca's points but adds a new point to it: Finding a guide and teacher can help the person in controlling his passions. Galen also gives some hints for finding a good teacher. Both Seneca and Galen (and later philosophers) agree that process of controlling anger should start childhood when the children are more malleable. Seneca though warns that this education should not blunt the spirit of the Children nor should they be humiliated or treated severely. At the same time, they should not be pampered. The Children, Seneca says should learn not to beat their playmates nor to become angry at them. The request of Children should not be granted when they are angry, Seneca advices. Middle ages Maimonides recognized being given to uncontrollable passions as a kind of illness. Like Galen, Maimonides suggested seeking out a philosopher for curing this illness just as one seeks out a physician for curing bodily illnesses. Roger Bacon elaborates Seneca's advices. Many medieval writers discuss at length the evils of anger and the virtues of temperance. John Mirk asks men to "consider how angels flee before them and fiends run toward him to burn him with hellfire."[9] In The Canon of Medicine, Ibn Sina (Avicenna) modified the theory of temperaments and argued that anger heralded the transition of melancholia to mania, and explained that humidity inside the head can contribute to such mood disorders. On the other hand, Ahmed ibn Sahl al-Balkhi classified anger (along with aggression) as a type of neurosis, while al-Ghazali (Algazel) argued that anger takes form in rage, indignation and revenge, and that "the powers of the soul become balanced if it keeps anger under control." Modern times According to R. Novaco, anger is an emotional response to provocation. R. Novaco recognized three modalities of anger: cognitive (appraisals), somatic-affective (tension and agitations) and behavioral ( withdrawal and antagonism). In order to manage anger the problems involved in the anger should be discussed Novaco suggests. The situations leading to anger should be explored by the person. The person is then tried to be imagery-based relieved of his or her recent angry experiences. Modern therapies for anger involve restructuring thoughts and beliefs in order to bring about a causal reduction in anger. This therapy often comes within the schools of CBT (or cognitive behavioral therapy) or other modern schools such as REBT (or rational emotional behavioral therapy). Research shows that people who suffer from excessive anger often harbor irrational thoughts and beliefs towards negativity. It has been shown that with therapy by a trained professional, individuals can bring their anger to manageable levels. The therapy is followed by the so-called "stress inoculation" in which the clients are taught "relaxation skills to control their arousal and various cognitive controls to exercise on their attention, thoughts, images, and feelings. They are taught to see the provocation and the anger itself as occurring in a series of stages, each of which can be dealt with." Suppression of anger While the early philosophers were not concerned with possible harmful effects of the suppression of anger, modern psychologists point out that suppression of anger may have harmful effects. The suppressed anger may find another outlet, such as a physical symptom, or become more extreme. John W. Fiero cites Los Angeles riots of 1992 as an example of sudden, explosive release of suppressed anger. The anger was then displaced as violence against those who had nothing to do with the matter. Another example of widespread deflection of anger from its actual cause toward a scapegoat, Fiero says, was the blaming of Jews for the economic ills of Germany by the Nazis.

When I get angry I close my eyes and remember to breathe.
-
how do control my anger, well, i walk away in a big huff and think and try to relax. And how to come other people down, it all depends on the person, and that situation, most of the time, i let the person be alone for awhile to calm down and take a breather.
-
I walk away from whatever or whoever has angered me.. I take some quiet minutes, Pray and ask for the Strenth and Wisdon to get me through the way I am feeling.. without reacting harshly !! when a person around me is Angry.. I find that if I keep a low keyed tone to my Voice and stay Relaxed, eventually they start to relax also.. which can then give them a moment to have a clear thought !!
-
I leave whatever is angering me alone, and try to get my aggression out elsewhere. Also, joking around with the angry person sometimes helps, or rubbing their back.

By NOT giving it weight or importance. I DON'T get angry because being "right" is NOT what's important to me. I only . . . .EVER. . . . .want to be heard. It's quite alright with ME if the other person perceives themself to be "right"! I really could. . . .CARE LESS!

I don't get angry in the first place, unless I see some benefit to it. Contrary to popular opinion, external events do not produce anger. Anger, like all emotions, is created by how you think. No matter how outrageous the external event, the event does not create the anger, your interpretation does. Example: If at night your child runs out of the bedroom giggling right after you put him or her to bed, you may think, "stupid kid!" On the other hand you may think, "great, my child is learning independence." The key is in fathoming your own thoughts, beliefs and assessing the costs and benefits of allowing yourself to feel angry. Cognitive behavioral therapy has many highly effective strategies for doing this.

This is a loaded question... If you have a real problem with anger, I recommend counseling and real research. There was a book that did me some good many years ago. It was called "Angry All the Time". Don't recall who wrote it, some PhD in Psychology.
-
I'm a firm believer in hypnotherapy. But it only works if the subject desires to change, really wants to change. And you don't need a one-on-one session. Sometimes CD's can help. Wendi, Steve G Jones, and Christopher Love are some of my faves....+3 PS - you will NEVER do anything under hypnosis you wouldn't do in full consciousness.
-
ive been asking that too.
-
Try meditation. I have seen that it works well.
-
close your eyes and count to 10 over and over. sounds korny, but it sometimes will calm you down if you do it long enough.
-
Try and leave the situation even if it's just right outside of the door and just think. The out of control temper I have can get me fired so today I simply left for about 10 min. because I knew I was about to GO OFF verbally and I need my job lol.
