anger manager

i don't have a quote today. i don't have the time to find one. so i'll just talk about my issues.

sometimes when you get angry, so angry that you can't hold in your emotions and you HAVE to let them out physically. it's really hard, because you most likely end up breaking something. but you just gotta get a little bit of it out. throw something that you know can't break or slam doors or in someway express your anger WITHOUT harming anything or anyone.

then you just gotta take a step back. call someone. serious shit. call someone who will help or just someone you trust. it doesn't matter if they can help you or not. you just need something to do so you stop throwing things, because if that goes on too long you will end up breaking something important. and that sucks

after you've called said person stay on the phone until you calm down enough not to do anything stupid. just calm down and stay calmed. and after that do things that will distract you. do not just sit there otherwise you'll resort back to your throwing tendancie. so. here's the steps to being angry:

1. throw a few things
2. call someone trustworthy
3. calm down
4. stay calm for a while
5. get off the phone
6. find things to do so you don't relapse 'cause if you do you have to go back to the beginning and that's six steps... that's a lot. ugh. and i bet the person you called won't be happy with you calling them again. so... don't skip this step.

alright. so. this was really my way of dealing with intense anger/freaking. it works. i had to do it today.

You could have called me as many times as necessary, and I wouldn't have minded. You know I'm always ther for you. I have always been one to hit something before I would throw things, though, just thought you should know.
