I am so keyed up. medical stuff with family...alone and (that is probably a good thing cause the way I feel right now I would pick a fight with partner....am I the only one who does that?)

Anyone else just need to bittttttch???

And if so, what do you do about it besides this?

Don't say walk, talk, eat, not eat etc etc...I am really keyed up and want real answers....

oh gosh I sound angry, sorry my mingle friends...perhaps I should delete.....

So again....what do you do when you just need to *****?

Go to a bar and pick a fight with the biggest baddest person there. That will calm ya down.

Deep deep breaths.And put on rod stewart

I try to remember what!s imporant and what is not and if that don!t work KICK SOME ***.

Actually I go to my office where I'm all alone at times I will even fix me a drink. But over all I'm better off by myself until I cool off.

Then I'll sit down watch some tv and get online and just get in my own little world till it's all good again....

I play on here and the laughs help! I also light up a few Marlboros and perhaps have a drink.

I know you don't wanna hear it, but this too shall pass

I go in the closet and play with my dolls!!

remember u can always talk to me.I'm hear for u. I know that things can get tough sometimes with medical with the family as u do too.

HI!

I know the emotions that can boil and bring you to act combative with an otherwise “innocent” person.

It’s OK to be angry or explosive if you direct your energy the right way.

If you aren’t one to exercise or take a walk or you need more of an outlet, tell someone you need to yell “toward them”. Let them know you really need to blow off some steam, and ask them to just listen, not talk, not give advice – but for them to just absorb your venting.

When I was younger I would pick fights if I was pent up inside. I realized I was hurting the wrong people, plus I seemed like a crazed maniac. I learned that being honest with my emotions and seeking a healthy way to let it out was my best hope. If someone was at the other end of my vent, I explained why I was being so confrontational.

It sure made life easier and kept my relationships sane!

If all else fails, go kick some rocks -- or throw them at boys!

Do a slow count to 5,000,000,000, by the time you finish you'll forget what you're mad about. You may need to take vacation time to complete this.

Having family problems is so stressful. No wonder you are keyed up. Wanting to fight is a natural reaction when you feel helpless to change a situation. It is core to our survival instincts. Try to do something to distract yourself and relax. All problems are easier to cope with with rest and a clear mind. Know you have friends and we care about you being upset.

Usually when I am upset I clean something. Gives me a feeling of control of at least something. usually that makes me hot and sweaty so I take a bubble bath and fall into the bed once I have cooled out.

Haha silly

and land me in hospital with no insurance but GOSH I would love to try! I promise he would have wounds too! LOL I feel better already - virtual fight!!! OH NO wait, if it's virtual I GET TO WIN! Didn't mean to hurt him soooo badly! Gosh I am loving this - thanks!!!

Music is it!!! Can't put my hand on the right Rod S. but have put on Dido's "No Angle".

Thank you for the simple reminder of music...suspect I will be kitchen dancing soon....xoxoxo A.

Let it out!

Scream, throw a fit, jump up and down! Just like a kid would!

Say exactly what you want to say, but might not say to another person!


Let it out! B*tch! Scream! VEnt!




It sucks! It hurts! You're tired of all the crap!

Just say it! Say it out loud! Scream it!


And then once you don't have anymore energy... lay down in bed. And just breath! Focus on your breathing... in through your nose, out through your mouth. Focus on your breathing!

And then in the morning... start your new day!

Finding something funny on the tv to watch, it doesn't work right away but in time it does. Jim Carey is really good for the frustration and for the blues.

I listen to music and find something for my hands to do sometimes too. Music and washing dishes or music and sorting the mail, etc...

I try to be alone though until I can get over it because I just tend to be kinda bit-chy

I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm reaching the critical stress level myself, and for similar reasons.

Alone forever so nobody to lean on. I have finals this week (a week early) because my folks called with bad news, both are having serious medical issues so I have to go out west for an extended period of time leaving my 17 yr old here alone for a month. I just turned 40, my truck broke down on the way to the funeral I had to attend on my birthday for a relative who died of cancer, and guess what Dad has? Today I open up my Bio book to the last chapter I have to study before my exam and guess what it's about? Yah, cancer, at the molecular level. I was like, okay, enough is enough already!

Besides briefly debating putting a bullet in my head, my reaction is to take a different perspective on the situation. It's not easy but I have to see a light in this darkness somewhere. At least I'll be done my exams soon and I get to see my parents in less than a week. When life's kickin' the crap out of me, I just look at the bright side...at least I don't have nuts.

Point is...it's all just a matter of perspective.

I can relate to the feeling of needing to vent! Being forced into a divorce when one doesn't want to get divorced can bring out all kinds of frustrations.

Over the past few months I've tried all the normal ways of dealing with anger, frustration, and despair...

I tried taking long walks. I'd walk and walk and walk. And then I'd be even more angry because suddenly I realized I now have to walk all the way BACK!

I tried burying myself in my work. I'm a saddlemaker. I use very, very sharp knives to cut through the thick leather. One should NEVER handle very sharp knives when one is angry. It's impossible to clean blood off leather.

I tried talking about it to someone else. I found that the people in line behind me at the espresso bar really got angry when I poured my soul out to the barrista.

They say spending quality time with your pets is a good way to reduce stress. So, I tried taking my dogs for a walk, but it was 2 degrees outside my house today and the dang dogs looked at me like, "Are you frickin' nuts???"

Some people like to drink when they get upset. I tried that. I've spent a ton of money on diet pepsi and it didn't help a damn bit.

But, I have invented one sure-fire remedy for needing to vent. When things get really really bad I go outside and I SCREAM MY HEAD OFF! Luckily, I live waaaaaaay out in the country and there's no one to hear me. I did try this technique in a more populated setting once. I don't recommend it, though, because now I can't ever go back into Walmart.

Of course, wish I'd thought of that!!! and that I have a doll...

put angry music on my ipod and go on a run
