im just wondering ways you guys use or at least know how to blow off steam or to cool down.
my girlfriend's friend went to anger management before and showering was a method. know any others? najibs, anything other than wanking / sex related, yes those do work but i want non sexual ones.

Like this? "what is an hypotenuse?"
No no, I usually just play very violent video games like GTA with the infinite health cheat on. Then I draw pentagrams all over myself..

I know it sounds stupid but I typically punch my punching bag for around 45 minutes straight and then go to bed. Seems to help :twisted:

I head to the gravel pit with my shotty and some old vegetables...target fun.
But then again I do that all the time, no matter what my mental state is in...and come to think of it I rarely if ever get angry for any reason at all.
So I guess you could say that I would make up any reason to shoot old vegetables with my shotty over at the gravel pit
:D

-drink until you pass out.
-ignore it and stuff all the feelings into a little ball inside you and NEVER release it.
-watch a movie.
-take a walk in the rain.

Usually I go for a long drive/walk/jog/ride. As long as I can get myself alone and moving I wont punch anyone.
Another trick that's helped me cool down pretty fast: Punching someone, and then getting beat up. Waking up in a daze really puts things in perspective sometimes. lol

I'm a lazy gamer so I don't do push-ups or any physical stuff. I put on some music where the singers yells, and let him yell for me.
Old Slipknot songs, System of a Down, Cradle of Filth (hard to understand anything.. but they yell). They're so angry in their song, they get angry for me.

Take steps to make sure that never happens again. If it's someone that's causing you angst and you feel like you want to kill them, sever ties with that person since murder is not an option. Problem solved.
If it's a customer you deal with at work, follow him or her to his car or residence, then plant some cocaine and call the cops on them. Laugh as the judge sentence them to prison. Problem solved.
420?
This seems to be a popular vice, but for those who don't want to pollute their system, music is very therapeutic. Deep house music really helps me feel relaxed. I often think I listen to it too much because it makes me apathetic to all things. Puts me in a zone.

I agree with the physical activity theme. A good workout always makes me feel better.

When I'm really angry I do a couple of sho'ryo'ken's on the spot & hurl blue fireballs in open paces to avoid innocent bystanders. It works great 4 me...amazing way 2 to let off some steam.
But don't try this at home.

Any physical excersie will help; The ideal method though is to volunteer at a soup kitchen or a shelter. Or walking around and handing out sandwiches to street bums like our kind friend Urban does.
Seeing with your own eyes that there are greater mischiefs than an xbox that refuses to eject your game makes you feel very good about your own life very quickly. Or so I find.

lol by far the best method.
When I'm angry, I just listen to my music. Calms me down.

try music first. Not the bad music, the cool calm music.
if its raining outside, go for a walk and just sit down on a park bench and think. Let the rain drench you in its H20ness.

and play America's Army being sniper with the .50 caliber one and going non prone, its impossible to aim, it really is too.

a nice long walk usually does the trick.
a tall glass of water and deep breathing usually helps to calm also.

Exercise...running sometimes helps (not in this weather though), lifting weights is REALLY effective.
