I guess this could tie in with the “angry women” thread but I actually don’t want to be an angry woman..
I want to be all happy and rainbows and all that bullcrap
So when you are REALLY REALLY REALLY FREAKING ANGRY.. what do you do?
Especially when you can’t go to sleep.
Re: Anger Management
Exercise helps. And, so does talking to your dog. :D
But in case I had none of those two, I wouldn't take the occasional rage out on someone I know, I'd want to take it out on someone I don't know.

I do this 
Re: Anger Management
One sunny day, I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone
call I had forgotten to make. I found the number and dialed it.
A man answers saying "Hello." I then politely said, "This is
Mike." Could I please speak with Robin?"
Suddenly the phone was slammed down on me. I couldn't believe anyone could be so rude.
I tracked down Robin's correct number and called her. I had
transposed the last two digits of her phone number.
After hanging up with her, I decided to call the 'wrong'
number again. When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled,
"You're an acepole (a--hole)!" and hung up.
I wrote his number down with the word 'acepole' next
to it, and put it in my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks,
when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him
up and yell, "You're an acepole!"
It always cheered me up.
When Caller ID came to our area, I thought my therapeutic
'acepole' calling would have to stop. So, I called his
number and said, "Hi, this is John Smith from the
telephone company. I'm calling to see if you're familiar with our
Caller ID Program?" He yelled "NO!" and slammed down
the phone. I quickly called him back and said, "That's
only because you're an acepole!"
One day I was at the store, getting ready to pull into
a parking spot.
Some guy in a black BMW cut me off and pulled into the
spot I had patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled
that I'd been waiting for that spot.
The idiot ignored me. I noticed a "For Sale" sign in
his car window, so I wrote down his number.
A couple of days later, right after calling the first
acepole (I had his number on speed dial,) I thought
that I'd better call the BMW walaa acepole, too.
I said, "Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?"
"Yes, It is."
"Can you tell me where I can see it?"
"Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow
house, and the car's parked right out in front."
"What's your name?" I asked.
"My name is Don Hansen," he said.
"When's a good time to catch you, Don?"
"I'm home every evening after five."
"Listen, Don, can I tell you something?"
"Yes?"
"Don, you're an acepole." Then I hung up, and added
his number to my speed dial, too. Now, when I had a
problem, I had two acepoles to call.
Then I came up with an idea. I called acepole #1.
"Hello."
"You're an acepole!" (But I didn't hang up.)
"Are you still there?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said.
"Stop calling me," he screamed.
"Make me," I said.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"My name is Don Hansen."
"Yeah? Where do you live?"
"Mr. Acepole, I live at 1802 West 34th Street, a yellow
house, with my black Beamer parked in front."
He said, "I'm coming over right now, Don. And you had
better start saying your prayers."
I said, "Yeah, like I'm really scared of you, acepole."
Then I called Acepole #2. "Hello?" he said.
"Hello, acepole," I said.
He yelled, "If I ever find out who you are..."
"You'll what?" I said.
"I'll kick your ace," he exclaimed.
I answered, "Well, acepole, here's your chance. I'm
coming over right now."
Then I hung up and immediately called the police,
saying that I lived at 1802 West 34th Street, and that I was
on my way over there to kill my gay lover.
Then I called Channel 13 News about the gang war going
down on West 34th Street.
I quickly got into my car and headed over to 34th
street.
There I saw the two acepoles beating the crap out of each
other in front of six squad cars, a police helicopter and a
news crew.
Now I feel much better. You know, this anger
management stuff really works.
Re: Anger Management
urgh , the tragedy of my life has been anger management!
When you can take it out one way or the other , all is rosy and nice ..
But troubles begin, when you cant do that ! It starts affecting your own self and that means something needs to be done.
Try to address the root cause of the issue. and no matter how difficult it seems, talk it out with the concerned person. Try to find a short term or a long term solution , which ever comes to mind. sometimes there are consequences, face them , but definitely talk about the issue with the concerned party.
That is the only way I have been able to let go of unwanted anger...
People told me to exercise, drink water, pray etc etc .. did all that but didnt relieve me that much.. eventually it was talking it out that helped.

Re: Anger Management
mmm it depends on what the situation is and who the anger is directed at. For example, if it's parents, I wouldn't talk back and do as they say and hope that they realize they are being unfair or unreasonable (tends to work). But if it's my sister, we would argue back and forth for an hour and after another 2-3 hours, we are back to safety zone as if nothing happened. If it's friends, mostly I am not the type to spill what I am feeling but people say that it shows on my face.
What I do? Well, sometimes I cry (if I am extremely frustrated or agitated) and then I pray or go to sleep. Other times, I lock myself in my room and don't talk to anyone until I calm down. Comedy shows tend to lighten my mood. Or I vent to my best friend.
Alhamdulillah, I don't have anger management issues and never experienced anger to the point of rage. But I have seen angry people and all I can say is, if you are mad, try not to say anything until you are sane again and then have a talk with the source that caused it. Sometimes the damage we do in anger is irreversible and ends up haunting us for life.
Re: Anger Management
Umm I guess lets just say its a boyfriend/spouse.. you are mad at a situation that happened, they said they would change it, didn't see the change, finally do and NOW say they will change but you are so angry and can't let go and forgive.. I never learnt how to forgive and forget.. I don't know how to? I feel like when someone, parents, siblings, husband do just one thing wrong, I remember all the other things they did wrong in the past and get REALLY REALLY angry.. I can't trust anyone.. i don't know why.. and sometimes I feel like they haven't really given me a reason to
