I cum.

just doing something relaxing (and being alone) is enough for me.

Video games are pretty good for that. Doesn't have to be a chill game like slime rancher or something either. Simply getting sucked into a game will make me forget being angry.

Double inhale - exhale. Usually helps. Not that I get angry a lot.

In the rare cases I feel rage I just do some sport while having metal playing in the backround. Either going for a run in the forest or training on my punching bag. If my best friend needs to vent I get into the ring with her for some sparring

I usually get near my pet, sometimes hug them, I think about hugging plushies, force myself to lie down on bed and ponder about drawings I wanna make..

And sometimes I just drink a ton of water to make me feel too heavy and tired to actually care about whatever is raging me.

I do nothing. Time just passes and I calm down.

That's my secret, I am always mad.

I take deep breaths and meditate. I also sing some metal or heavy rock to scream the frustration out. Punching a punching bag helps too. Screaming into a pillow may help as well. Fapping helps me release some stress. Lately I've been playing Powerwash Simulator to calm me down. I don't know why but it had such a calming soothing effect on me. I have anger issues and I've developed ways to help me cope with it over the years. What works for me may not work for you just to let you know. It's important to never bottle up your emotions.

Play video games with excessive amounts of blood and violence until I reach a state of catharsis. If I can't do that I'll probably just listen to some chill piano music or something on YT.

It's hard to get mad about anything when you've came to the conclusion that pretty much everything in life is just pointless anyway

Music, games, and a good soda

Bottle it up and deflect the anger into self pity and hate, usually.

I stopped playing league of legends.

If you use this method, take care that it's not a game that you easily lose (especially in cases where you're forced to go down without a fight when you ARE losing). Playing something like a PVP game will not help, as your altered state of mind will lead to more humiliating defeats, and more humiliating defeats will just make you even angrier. And fighting games in particular are especially bad about this, as half the goal of most of them is to make your opponent's controls not do what they're supposed to, be it by keeping them in stunlock, countering their attacks, grabbing through their blocks, etc. You will be on the receiving end of that most of the time, and as we all know, nothing in gaming is more frustrating than feeling like our inputs are doing nothing.

Personally, I suggest games where pure power fantasy is a huge selling point. Maybe something like Dynasty Warriors or Kingdom Hearts, where gameplay is focused on mowing down very large numbers of enemies with relative ease.

That's a very good caveat, lol

I play more single player games so this isn't much of an issue. But definitely something to keep in mind if multiplayer stuff is more of a staple for you

I just say it is what it is.

I go for a walk around the block, usually works

I deal with it like all my problems: By going back to bed.

First tell yourself to STOP and use this skill to avoid reacting in a way that makes the situation worse.

Next, bring yourself back into the moment with the 5-4-3-2-1 skill

Finally, deliberately, mindfully put your mind on something else for a while, preferably something that makes you feel something different: https://dbt.tools/distress_tolerance/accepts.php

If it is not in relation to Fur. I try to talk myself into sense. it works. over the course of a day or two.

If it is in relation to Furs. I usually delete my Fur contacts on Discord. and removes all my drawings and favorites from FA. It usually helps. also a couple of weeks go by and I'm down again trying to explain to my contacts that it was a mistake. It usually goes very well. Do I need to say I don't have any Fur contacts anymore?

Play Marilyn Manson and then I'm mad but entertained so not as sad. j/k

Playing through the early part of discography and it's... bringing back memories of 1990's.

Seriously though, some people like music.

Lift, game, bake cookies and go see friends. Miraculous

I usually just sit in silence and stew about what I'm angry about for enough time until I am bored of thinking about it and I move on lol

Step 1) Accept my anger. Like, don't monitor my feelings for whether I feel better NOW, or now, or now. Whatever the feelings are, they will pass.
Step 2) Do something else, probably something that doesn't have a high skill requirement. Walking is a good option. If I can't leave the building, working out is an alternative.

You should look into help. I bottled it up and ended up in a mental health clinic after a severe breakdown. Of course I already had depression but my control over it had begun to falter.

When I was younger, usually by bursting out, punching/kicking things, etc. like most teenagers with rage issues do.

However, as I grew older, I learned to channel that emotion into productivity. Getting frustrated/anger'd up at work puts me into about the same level of overdrive that a few energy drinks would =P

One of the most valuable things any person can learn is how to productively let out your emotions.

I don't think I've ever experienced rage, except may be once or twice as a kid but rarely. Honestly I've forgotten what anger feels like. I can sort of mimic rage by visceral reaction, but I definitely don't have any out-turned emotions, it's more like "disappointment" or "defence" if someone hurts me or another.
I am quite a placid creature. I do get periods where I am stressed, mostly from the transition in the world right now and sometimes due to oppression.
I would just meditate, take deep breaths, watch some old light-hearted comedy.

Also eating anything healthy that encourages good digestion and hormonal balance, that's pretty easy for me as I'm vegan anyway but I have noticed when eating junk food or byproducts I tend to be far more stressed.

Sex is obviously a release as well, but I prefer sex when I am already in the mood or I can't enjoy as much to have as good orgasms to begin with :P
Instilling bliss and being positive is usually the best, though. Prevention is definitely better than cure. Freeing oneself from the ego's bonds I find helps a lot.

This reminds me a lot of when I was a child, I got so mad that I, unprompted, did an entire page of my homework in cursive. I did some destructive thing, but not willingly damaging any property, like unplugging every electronic devices in the house or emptying a bookshelf onto the floor.

Nowadays it really depends on the situation. If I can work on something, I'm gonna do it. If I can't, I'll boot up a video game or masturbate. If not, I just go to bed.

Well to keep this brief, basically when I get mad or angry, yeah I’m usually the type that doesn’t show visible emotion, well I do, but not with the same usual family & casual strangers but I do with my close friends, classmates (well from back then in my childhood whom I knew for years on end) but depends on scenario of public life really) but one particular speck of my life I will say, is that I get mad when I’m actually in a place/dwelling/building, usually by no other choice, is that I live/reside in a place I don’t want to be at, like for example, I hate living in the same roof as my stupid unfriendly, violent, jackass of my brother & having to be in a building by him, separate rooms or not, makes me mad!

I do the thing they did in Celeste at the end of Chapter 4. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, it's a breathing exercise. Imagine there's a feather floating in front of you. You need to keep the feather from falling, and your breath controls its height. It's not about keeping the feather in the same place, you'd probably pass out from hyperventilation. Instead, let it move up and down without hitting the ground or flying above you. Just keep it in front of you.

I don't have issues with rage or anger, mostly anxiety, but I'm sure this could help with managing anger too.
