Dealing With Emotions

[chase]

I almost snapped on my Dad today. I have so much anger built up inside of me today I don't even know what to do with myself right now.

Usually I would ride my bike and I'd be fine, but its winter and completely impossible to even get out of my garage so I'm stuck sitting here thinking about how to calm myself down..

So that bring on my question:

What do you do to deal with your emotions? (anger, depression, anxious, etc.)

I used to just destroy larger cardboard boxes. Realized that did not really help over time. Now I usually just try to relax and let my mind deal with it. Take a slat water bath or something and try to let the stress out.

The cardboard boxes would be nice but I no longer work in a warehouse
I love that bath idea right now actually. May do just that.

I'm a weird guy though Maynard; lifting weights may actually make me snap and punch babies.

Loka, provide me with explosives and I will gladly blow up my ex's car. Two houses down

Honestly the best way to deal with rage is just walking. but in your case, go outside and shovel the snow. great thing to do if your snoewd in.

chase.. here is what i do when i am inraged, feeling shitty about stuff going on, or just not that great. I find anything and everything to occupy the time and my mind from what ever it may be. Smoke a cig and go for a walk, it being winter is actually a benefit. Walking in the cold helps cool me down. Also coming to some realizations helps as well. Is it really worth being pissed about and is there anything you can do better regarding the situation. It takes two people to argue, and two people to mend the after-math of that argument.

I've done it multiple times in the last few days and didn't even get a thank you from my dad. If I did it again I would be doing him a favour without even the slightest gesture of appreciation. I just decided the best way to deal with my issues is to be completely independent.. Self-satisfaction is my anti-rage right now

I'd kill for a smoke right now but I quit.. I am going for a walk tomorrow morning to see if I can get this car financed.. Hopefully that will help my mood some more.

Seems like your dad is a root of the anger. Maybe a nice long talk with your dad would help.....

Oh no doubt he is. I've been as nice and respectful as I could be to him even when I've wanted to rip his throat out lately until I lost it on him today. He walks away before you can finish your sentence and gets upset whenever you ask him a question.

As I said, he has 0 communication with anybody in my family. Things get done when he wants them done and he has no respect for anybody else. I undestand why my brother and him haven't been friendly or gotten along with each other for more than 30 seconds in the last 4 or 5 years.
