Well some people know I've had problems over a year and a half... but now I'm just scared. I've been getting really violent lately and at some points, have to hurt myself in some way to make sure I don't hurt others. NO I'm not cutting myself... more like hitting my head against hard things and kicking things until my foot's near broke. I've also been seen throwing things and screaming at people out of the blue. I'm scared I'm going to hurt someone, lose my friends and get back into my old depression. It's not all the time, but it has been coming up a lot lately. EDIT: Wow I've made myself sound crazy, but maybe It's because I've been holding my emotions in waaay too much ~ I dunno it's a theory.
Buy a punching bag or something. I don't know, something to redirect your anger to. Playing violent video games can do the trick too, although that could just as easily have a reverse effect on your mood and aggravate you further. Drinking tea or wine helps you relax; eating chocolate does that too (but isn't all that effective). Take long showers, have someone massage you. Bringing an inner calm is all in the little things. Talk about it in person with someone you confide in, someone who soothes you. That's all I can say without knowing the core of the problem. Hope it helps.
I suggested playing God Of War II to a friend because its violent. The difficulty of the game made him worse
Yeah, I know. If I were to suggest anything I'd go for games with a sandbox-style gameplay like GTA or Carmaggedon. It depends on the person though. Sometimes it has an unwanted opposite effect regardless.
Like videogames or punching bags, you can turn to music. If you need music to calm you down, find some chill songs and listen to that for awhile. Sometimes people listen to really loud rage music if they need to as well. It might make you angrier though.
A question, but do you have any problems with sleeping lately? I think I understand how you feel and I'm going through kinda the same thing. It could be sleeping problems.
Yeah, I know how that feels. I tend to feel like beathing the living **** out of some people when they get annoying enough. I'd say, get a punching bag or something else to redirect your anger, like Styx said. And maybe you should talk to someone about your anger and things that are bothering you so much. That usually helps a little. If you really need someone to talk to, hit me up on MSN or something if you have one. I'm always willing to help people.
I definetly wouldn't recommend video games. They're bad apples which build tension. Music sounds like a good way to solve this. Not too chilling, it could make you feel a little depressed if you are angry(at least with me). NO SLIPKNOT OR THOSE KINDA THINGS. You should listen to more upbeat and happy music. I also kind of agree with Styx for that punching bag theory. It's not what I would do, but it seems effective.
I had nearly this exact same problem when I was in middle school. I even made violent actions toward school staff at a couple of points. I went to see a psychiatrist and everything got better after that as far as that's concerned. So you might want to go see a shrink, it seriously helps.
Most shrinks are hacks. I got over my rage problems when I started teaching myself how to use a sword. I would still be pretty defenseless if I needed to use one, but it helps with rage, and it helps with exercise, if you work hard enough. Whenever my mom makes me too mad, I just go outside and work it off on an imaginary opponent. Anger actually makes me better. Punching bags also work, along with loud angry music.
It helps me. It really does. And I recommend a wooden sword, not a real one by any means. I should have specified that, actually. Besides the danger to others, even if you have a blunt metal sword, trust me, you will break some bones. Wooden swords are fun, though.
I listen to music whenever I feel like I need to punch someone, so hopefully it will calm you down. Or go outside for a walk, get some fresh air.
I second this. Practicing with wooden swords got me out of the frenzy state many times. But using blunt metal swords can cause atleast nasty bruises, if not broken bones.
Well it happened again about half an hour ago... me and my brother were having a fight because everything he says is either taunting or rude and it pisses me off. Anyway, it's 8pm and I'm a weak female and I wanted pizza, unfortunately my dad couldn't take me, so my brother was asked. He just said "So your to scared to go by yourself" This pissed me off badly and I attacked my bedroom door and walked out of the house. The walk worked (thanks guys) and by the time I came home I had pizza and was locked out, making me look like the mature one.
I can't really say that I know how you feel but the one thing I could suggest... well, make that two things that I could suggest. You could either listen to some music, stuff that's angry but at the same time it helps you relax or, the one I find most effective (for me anyway) is by talking to someone that you trust. Also remember, if you want to talk about anything just come to me at school okay? I'm always there to listen.
