F*cking mad

[twinkle]

What do you do when you're mad as hell?

This is what I do:
-keep it inside
-keep it inside and it''s boiling
-eating
-eating chocolate
-hitting the gym class
-being an indescribeable arse to people around me

Only afterwords do I think about actually talking about it. I'm horrid. It's my hoorid ritual - not necessarily in that order.

What's yours?

[Meanon]

I can be vile when I am really angry and because it happens so rarely people are totally unprepared for it. Usually, it's so off the scale that I find it vaguely amusing even though that doesn't lessen the intensity one iota.

I know some people find imagery helps a lot, I've never tried it myself though I've used it with clients a lot. I prefer extreme sarcasm

Bottling it up will give you heart burn. What's bothering you twinkle?

[Weiser]

I bottle it up inside. I keep bottling it up until I explode every few years.

[Meanon]

Yikes, do you issue a three minute warning or is it spontaneous?

Singing very loudly to angry music in the car is good too

Well, you are a hot-blooded-young-latin woman, known for Terrifying Fits of Rage!!! :P

For better or for worse, my years of that much passion seem to be behind me.

I hide.
I drink.
I "sleep on it."

Then its usually over.

My Anger Dies with a Wimper, not a Roar.

It takes a LOT to get me mad; but when it happens "LOOK OUT"; the red-headed temper is not to be messed with! .....After an episode, I scare myself...."did I just do that??" :?

Depends on the situation but for the most part I bottle it up and explode at those who didn't cause my troubles either because the one who did isn't around when the dam breaks or other similar situations. Then I cry.

I do the same thing.

[Meanon]

Minor annoyances I've learned to just switch off, but if something really annoys me then it's usually because it's upset me and I could never bottle it up - I tell everyone who will listen

No, no warning. I usually just snap and black out. The last time it happened was right before I moved out west. Some drunk american punk (this was in windsor, right across the river from detroit) tried to pick a fight with me after the bar. Next thing I knew my knuckles were all busted up and my white shirt was ruined *shrugs*

So good to hear you guys say that.

I'm a bit relieved to see that I'm not the only one keeping it inside .
I so wish I could express it right away, it'd save so much time and dramma. Well, I'm obviously incapable, lol.

Weiser, I do have my outbursts every couple of time too. I'm not taking it out on other people, however. On those that caused me to be mad. I'[m like mad and not talking, mad, mad and mad and pourring it out. I'm not a screamer, I'm just mean.

Tkdlady, crying is not an unusual part of the ritual . I am soooo mad at myself when I feel tears coming up, I absolutely hate it! It's like the typical irrational female that I loathe. But then impersonating it and knowing it is... well... not easy.

Also part of my stress routine: if I'm really stressed I can't eat - as opposed to being bumbed and eating chocolate. Yes, Meanon, that gives me lots of heartburns. If I'm mildly stressed I clean - I mean really clean.

I'd also listen to music loudly and I invariably end up jogging for one hour minimum - taking my iPod with me. If I'm at work, I just sink it in and work till I'm exhausted.


The source of stress this time? Meanon, you're asking? Men, of course :roll: .

[Meanon]

HA I knew it! That's the ONLY reason I ever get mad too.

[Duke]

I simply shut down and give nothing to the person I'm mad with. I've heard from a few people that this is actually scary which would explain why I usually get an apology rather quickly.

I don't...
I deal with whatever the problem is.
