When you're angry

[TheAceTheOne]

Okay, this one should be easy: What do you do to relax when you're pissed off/depressed? (I know it only says angry, but I'm including depressed too.)

Do you go to anyone else, a friend maybe? Do you listen to music, and if so, what kind of music?
Do you play games when you get angry/depressed? What games, if any?

Or do you do something else?

I ask this because last night, I had kind of a bad night. I found myself sitting in my room with the lights off listening to Whitechapel's "This Is Exile"...

Spoiler: Whitechapel - This is Exile

after a while I kind of went to different music, something a little more inspirational, yet still pretty metal.

Spoiler: Winds of Plague - Refined in Fire

I also wrote some stuff, but nothing worth sharing.

So, now you know where the post comes from, and what my answer is.
What's your answer?

I usually punch something multiple times(preferably a pillow or something soft that won't break), and that usually makes it go away. Sometimes, though, that "something" turns out to be the person who pissed me off in the first place...
As for depressed - music, lots of it.

 

[SilentCom]

If I'm depressed I would ususally listen to music or play video games. If I'm angry, I'll probably do some exercise or listen to some music.

 

[Wierdguy]

If Im angry then probably something by Equilibrium - great way to blow off steam listening to this:



As for depressed... well its hard to be sad when listening to something like Korplikaanis Vodka:


Music is probably one of the best ways to change mood at any give time.

 

[Catchy Slogan]

I grit my teeth, wait untill I can go up to my room and play any music I can on my MP3 untill I fall asleep.

It depends on how angry/depressed I am. If it's not too bad, I'll vent. If it's really bad, I just won't talk and will want to be alone. Music sometimes helps, but other times it just amplifies my feelings.

 

[AmrasCalmacil]

I generally do something to take my mind off of my mood. Often video-games, the more violent, the better a means for venting. I might just punch something but I always seem to forget that punching solid objects hurts.

 

[ScoopMeister]

I end up puching or kicking something, then shutting myself in my room and either reading, listening to music, or playing XBox.

Blast the bejeezes out of Zombies in Left 4 Dead. Best therapy ever.

 

[Fwee]

Bottle it up. All of it. Nothing more.

 

[Caer Seraphim]

My little brother listens to Whitechapel and Winds of Plague. (Not that this adds anything to the discussion)

 

[BoredDragon]

When I'm angery, I usually text my friends about what pissed me off. That way I don't yell at them, I just send really anger worded messages

Spoiler: one example

One of the cases that I remember was when I finally finished Deadrising 2's Zombie Genocider Master achievement. It took me 8 straight hours of non-stop monotinious bullshit to get and what did I get? One part of a Knight armor set after the entire game had references to megaman to make you assume that you would also get the megabuster in this game for completing one of the most self-torturious achievements in existance. Instead they only give you PART of an armor set that you still have to work for to get. The whole reason why I went after this achievement in the first place was because I wanted the megabuster and the megaman suit or something of equal awesomeness. Also, before anyone says I should have looked up online to see what the reward was, it was still too short after the release for anyone to know what it was. In my opinion, I have the legal right to say "fuck capcom" without any reprocussions from now on.

After that example my friends were a little scared of me after that due to the series of angery texts I sent their way

Blast some loud music. Solve the source of the problem. Forget about it, and play soccer, a game or paintball.

 

[Chawx]

Control.

My method is very simple. You know when some people do the WWJD when faced with a moral dilemma? When I'm mad, I think HWIR

Which is to say, How Would Iroh React?

Works every time.

For anger; go to the garage, put on some fight music and spend a while working it out on a punchbag.

For depression; read a book, watch a film or play a game. It'd have to be something new though, to ensure it holds my attention. Drink too, Blue Label Smirnoff; nomnomnom.

 

[Jamboxdotcom]

When i'm angry i find that Tool (or any of MJK's side-projects) works well for me. When i'm depressed, White Zombie picks me up better than anything else.

Also, while i normally hate driving, it's the best thing i can do when i'm pissed off.

 

[BabyRaptor]

When rage-mode angry, I have a nasty habit of punching walls or other hard objects. All 4 of the knuckles in my right hand are broken.

As psycho as it sounds, the pain breaks through the anger and allows me to clear my head.

 

[TheAceTheOne]

Blast the bejeezes out of Zombies in Left 4 Dead. Best therapy ever.

Another one of my favorite things~

 

[Subwayeatn]

I get angry, cool down, think about what happened, and then either laugh the situation away or get angry again.

Seems to work
