ME TOO! i get so sick to my stomach! I have gotten in fights when i was younger! i was really mean. but then again i just stood up for myself and wasnt scared of anyone. I have really mellowed out a lot. I do still throw tantrums! my moms tells my Bf that hes good man for putting up with me lol because i can get terrible at times! i feel for him sometimes.

My mom tells my bf that too lol He's like i know and laughs. He has really seen me at my worst i think

Yea.. it's weird when i was crying i got myself even more mad. Thnx for the icetray tip, ill try that

oo ok..well i don't hurt anyone around me, in fact i usually like to be alone when im mad or crying. I just throw a tantrum by myself like a big baby:p lol

I normally can't cry when I'm angry - well, I guess sometimes I do, it just depends.

I like to get in my car and turn on blasting music that I used to listen to when I was a teen (just a few years ago :rolleyes: ) and drive like a teenager. (a responsible one, of course!)

Once I took a huge thick branch and went outside and beat a tree. :D It hurt my hands from the force of the vibrations. I yelled while I beat the tree, too. :cool: I kept hitting it until the branch I was using broke down to a size where it was too small to use anymore. Then it kinda made me laugh.

I was this way today...and do you want to know WHY? Because I lost my book of stamps. Now how RETARTED is that? Yes I know, very. lol. :rolleyes:

Seriously...I got SO mad that I couldn't find them because I had 3 things that I needed to stick in the mail (bills :rolleyes:) and I have been SO busy with getting things ready for my MIL who will be here on Saturday, and I didn't have TIME to stop and drive to the P.O. to get more. Not only that, but it was a FULL book almost (minus 2 stamps) that I had JUST bought - and now they were gone - VANISHED, into thin air. :mad: I had to go get my tire fixed on my car because my wonderful husband drove over a nail (gotta love him ;)) and I also had to go to the grocery store and go to my hair appointment among other things...and now I had to drive to the P.O. to get MORE stamps after I had JUST bought some?? Oh, today just WASN'T a good day :mad: So much to do and nothing was going right - just one of those days :thumbdown

I was furious over this stamp thing, LOL. My husband called to tell me that they were getting ready to shoot the commercial up at his office (they are doing one for the Holidays) - and he could tell right off the bat that it WASN'T a good time to call me :D He knew right away from my, "HELLO!" that he had better just hang up :D lol. Needless to say we didn't talk long :p

Anyway, I was screaming and saying some NOT so lovely things (in my head though)...but if I am BEYOND angry, I will cry too. Sometimes I just totally lose it....but I guess that's all part of being a woman (that's what I always hear from my husband anyway) - especially during those oh-so-lovely times once a month. HAH!! ;)

I curse. It is a terrible habit I learned at my job. I am trying to quit.

lol I curse too! I will quit one day lol!

On Line Bill Pay, baby!! :thumbup: (I never have stamps, it seems)

Oh girl, trust me - I use online bill pay for all of my bills, EXCEPT 3 - I HATE mailing bills off!!! :thumbdown I mail my car payment in, because they charge a huge stupid fee for paying it online, AND over the phone...and I mail 2 of my medical bills off because those people NEVER answer the phone!! :mad: I am paying on 5 right now, 1 is almost paid off...2 of them always answer the phone immediately, so I pay those 2 that way (unfortunately I can't pay ANY of my medical bills online :rolleyes:), but the other two have a darn answering machine that comes on IMMEDAITELY when you call, then you are promted to leave a message and they NEVER call you back! :mad: You'd think if they wanted their money they would return a call! NOT!! :thumbdown

I just have to get out of the house lol, I usually take a really long walk around the city, gives me time to calm down and think. Otherwise I will just get really mad and curse, cry and say things that I don't mean.

If I am really mad....I have to remove myself from whatever has pissed me off!!! I have to walk away!!!! The very first thing I do is call my best friend who lives 3 hours away....she always makes me feel better!!!
I hate to be angry....it's the worst feeling!!!!!

UMMMM! Therapy anyone!!! LOL! I'm pretty even tempered.HOWEVER..... I can have a nasty temper when I pushed over the edge...takes alot to get me there....I usually get very quiet. If the person continues to push me I let them have it! Then I am ok.

I use relaxation breathing and imagetrie to calm down.

I normally fume and then it makes it worse because it just keeps building up....so I learned to either vent about it or go somewhere alone to talk it out (to myself) and pray about it....I feel so much better after that. I learned that why keep things bottled up and keep reliving it or thinking about it....it just drags you down..... it is better to talk about it to someone about it, think positive thoughts,etc....

Its great to see what everyone does when they get angry. I cry and talk when I am angry and I can cry a long time until I fall asleep and when I wake up, it usually feels better and usually I won't eat for some time and do not feel hungry. Usually it is something that has been bottled up over a long time until my hormone changes (once a month) and I couldn't control my own emotions anymore I let it out. If I need to talk to hubby and hubby doesn't pay attention to me as guys usually are, I will explode. I do throw things when I am very very angry but just unbreakable things like the pillow, clothes :p I guess you could say I do throw tantrums. My furbutt is not afraid of me when I throw tantrums which I find amazing and will sit by me side throughout the whole ordeal. I think I would stop throwing a fit right away if my furbutt gets scared because I don't like to scare him.

I used to have a bad temper, but I have definitely mellowed with age. It takes alot to make me mad now, I guess I figured it's just not worth the energy. If something makes me mad now, I just ask myself "is this going to matter tomorrow or next week?" Most times the answer is no, so I don't waste what little energy I have on it. I used to clean, clean, clean when I was angry or I'd go for a long walk and cool down....after I threw a fit lol. I have definitely gotten more patient with age.:)

I do that too !!! Usually I only have to start the "aggressive cleaning" and suddenly I have all these helping hands that jump in... I learned that trick by accident when my kids wouldn't do their chores and Iwould come home after working all day to a disaster area. It infuriated me, so instead of taking it out on them I would just start cleaning loudly, and suddenly they all wanted to help. probably just to shut me up, but it worked !

I used to have a truly terrible temper. Seriously bad. My first husband nearly drove me nuts and at the end I just lost it. I pulled a knife on him, and shot at him (thank God I was so angry I was shaking and I missed or I'd be in jail right now)

After the divorce, I had to pull myself together. My youngest was 6 weeks old and I had a 4 yr old. It took literally YEARS to be able to control my temper. I've mellowed a lot as I've grown older, but it's something I had to work on every day.

I made sure my children never saw me lose control (they are still the most important things in my life), and I NEVER touch alcohol.

You've got to find something to redirect your anger. Now when I get upset I read, or go for a drive.

I hope I NEVER feel that kind of anger again and I feel for anyone else having to deal with a temper like mine.

I usually take it out of who ever is near me, not a good thing either.

I find that pitching a good ol fashioned hissy fit works wonders! :)

I've found the best way thing to do when I'm angry is to get out the blender and grab a big bottle of vodka .......now what was I mad about...oh ya, nothing! :2party:

Yep, I do that too. When I lived in Wichita I would make laps around the city because there was a system of highways that made one big circle. I just set my cruise control and drove for however long it took me to chill out.
