    Just recovering from a spell of anger myself, at this late hour, there's not much to resort to other than silently fuming. I need a better way a healthier way. I thought how do the people of After Hours reduce their stress (besides continuously fapping)? Your ideas are needed.

    JUMPGUY WANTS YOU!


    First person to say "I fap" gets lots of thanks.

    Take a deep breath (breath out again obviously) and count to 10.

    Different things work for everyone - you just have to find yourself the best way for you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    I don't really get angry anymore. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,583 ✭✭✭alan4cult


    I post on boards to find angry people and then I go and kill them. :eek:

    Better still, go to the shop and continuously punch the bag until you get thrown out

    Was thinking about that a while back but there's nowhere to hang it (inside anyway). Can you hang them in a shed or something? How much do they cost?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,390 ✭✭✭fintonie


    what really works empty room and just take a deep breath then open the mouth and yell as loud as you can using that one breath, a couple of nice deep breath after this and you will feel so much better, (also a couple of good shouts/roars a day is a good thing when your having a piss or just on your own for a minute, even if someone hears you and they come to you asking was that you or did you hear that you say no the effect is twice as good. Or ice pack on the neck to kill the bruising,

    I find something highly marginal on the list of things that are ****ed in this country i.e Tesco self-service tills,and then start an ill informed campaign of hate against them on after hours...

    it's like each bottle breaking is a tiny chisel to the ear...:(

    Apparantly it's less "healthy" to let it out than to keep it in. That is, people who release their anger more, are more likely to be more angry. Pseudo-scientific studies have 'proved' it. This information comes from an episode of "pen and teller's something or other" I saw last night, so perhaps it's not so reliable. But then neither are many of the findings of psychologists :)

    Briefly write down why you're angry, just the key points. Then try and write down some things you yourself may have done to bring about the situation e.g. saying something inconsiderate, intolerance, envy, egotism, that sort of thing. Look at it again in a few days and you'll feel silly to have beens so angry.

    imo - this comes from within..........you probably heard of cal-mag.

    well get yourself a months supply of magnesuim , because your body may be getting too much calcuim.

    give it a go ...................it works for me

    don't see how ur findings work, what u propose creates the mountain of anger leading to the guy/woman walking into that building letting go killing a lot of innocent people.

    i think this is one of the better ideas on this topic, also gives you a chance to learn a lot about yourself.

    Well they are not my findings, and neither do they have anything to do with what creates said 'mountain of anger'.

    Also, I really love when innocent people get killed by things.

    I'm a furniture kicker. I feel it coming on me like a wave and the nearest thing gets it. 3 good skelps and the anger is gone. I'd never hurt another living thing when I'm like that, I'm glad to say (obviously that doesn't include cats)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    Anger.

    I actually don't get angry too often. Usually I remind myself that the object of my potential anger wouldn't last a heart beat if I decide its time for retribution.

    My victim would then have me charged with assault, when they eventually come out of their coma. Then I'd lose my job, and everything that entails.

    And that folks, is the Gods honest reason I keep my anger under control.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    I work it off by doing something physical like diy ,gardening , housework with some music in the background but I dont go looking for reasons to be angry .Some people will over react to something trivial and blow it all out of proportion .They are toxic .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,793 ✭✭✭✭Hagar


    I use this technique which was taught to me by a Zen Master.




    Just sit back, relax, feel the tension leave your body ... picture yourself near a stream.

    Birds are chirping in the crisp, cool mountain air.

    Butterflies waft in the breeze.

    Leaves rustle.

    Nothing can bother you here.

    Nobody knows this secret place.

    You are in complete seclusion from that place called 'the world'.

    The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.

    The water is crystal clear.

    You can easily make out the face of the person whose head you are holding under the water.


    There now........ doesn't that make you feel better?

    Either by lashing out at a football or going ape shít on a punch bag.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,259 ✭✭✭Rowley Birkin QC


    I shoot things, bought a rifle a few years ago and even target shooting is an excellent stress reliever.

    Driving range is also a good one, punching a pebbledash wall not so good.
