zzyzx08	go out and watch the sun set. it'll take your mind off the thing that angers you and you'll have a clear head to think it through. go into a empty room and scream, hit pillows, swear your head off, take 10 deep breaths and go on. Put on a Bob Marley cd, you'll be good as gold in no time... Because you still have to wake up tomorrow and deal with whatever it is. Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

* Nadia *	the best answer i can give you, is to just take some deep breaths. i know i sound like a physiologist, but I'm good at calming people down. if you really need to calm dawn, then i suggest you get a good book, get into your favorite, most comfy pajamas, and read. or sleep. listen to music and sing along, let everything out. i also write poems. like this one time, i was having some issues with this boy (we'll call him Steve). i wrote a poem about Steve and later gave it to him. i don't know what became of that poem, but i still have a copy. it really helped me get my feeling out! so just feel free to try my advice! -cait Was this answer helpful to you?

Yogi	Depending on what it is that is setting you off, you can remove your self from that irritation. If you can go for a walk, a run. I was in the service and a lot of the guy(officers normally)would run, or play golf. As for me I would read a book, cook, watch TV, go for a drive,(that is a little costly now days Gas)the work out thing helps. You are getting to shape. Now that I'm retired I pick up cans. Turn them in, I'm walking off a pound and picking up a pound, helps the environment. Not that I nut for that but hey what the ,,,. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tan.gerines	Hello, I would suggest you try breathing exercises. It may not seem to be a lot, but it may help you. There are a lot of different methods that you can look up. I usually like to do a very simple one that can be done whenever and where ever. 1. Breathe in deeply through your nose. 2. Take 3 short breathes (through your nose) without releasing. 3. Slowly exhale through your mouth. Do this only once and try to go easy, as you don't want to feel light-headed. This helps calm me down and I hope it helps you out as well. Take Care!

Laura	first if youre asking if youre a candidate for anger management..you probably are and there's nothing wrong with that just find some help and a psychologist can help you find a healthy way to release your anger. Each person is different in how they release this energy, squeezing one of those dumb stress things may not do it for you, maybe something like...running, working out, taking a bath, finding a hobby to attend to could reduce your anger. But it doesn't hurt to ask for help from a psychologist they will be able to direct you more in the right direction that works for your particular situation. Good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

applechick44	there are a lot of things to do... count to 10, breath deeply, think of things that make you happy. Really think about the situation... is it really worth getting really angry and upset over? Does the situation affect you that much that its going to ruin your whole day? Sometimes learning to be patient can help you realize that it was silly to get mad over something. Another thing is think.. would you want that person to be mad at you for what your mad at? and how would you want them to handle it.. put yourself in their shoes... hope this helped! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jogia j	Loosing temper / getting anger is a human nature but to what extent? Only those people can improve and get control over their anger – who wants to – person like yourself (believe me or not, most people don’t even wants to realize that this is a major issue and can destroy their life completely). By the way, getting anger can only leads you to make wrong and regretful decisions – sometime it may cost a whole life to remedy it. To improve yourself is not as difficult as it sounds, for any unpleasant reason or bad news we get first reaction comes from mind is WTF. What if you prepare yourself before you get a reason to frustrate? Life is short and world is not always runs around us. So what if sometime something “wrong happens” or someone did intentionally or unintentionally wrong (hey human suppose to do wrong – it’s better to find out now and later). To control your anger require two steps: 1: Drink cold water – Sit down – if possible lay down on a bed. (For at least 5-10 minutes). 2: Think what worst possibly can happen – you probably have over come bigger issue previously. And it’s just a matter of time. This problem / issue will resolve too. Always remember: “Prepare for Worst and Hope for the Best.” & “Time is the Healer” most problems can be resolve without doing anything – just wait – time will heal. Remember you can do it with patience. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

C-LO	When I'm mad, I sometimes break down. Every now and then I'm not afraid to cry. If I'm pissed off, I sometimes even swear but because of my faith, I do my best to keep my mouth under control. The tongue is like a fire, which can literally set things ablaze with just one word. Anger management? I don't believe in that stuff. Anger is an issue that be controlled not something that psychologists should come and "help you." The only way to change an anger problem is for the person to have a change of heart.

Sage	Walk your anger off. Give yourself an outlet to burn off the negative energy. Clean house.....work in the yard, chill out. After you calm down, look at the opitions and make a rational decision how to handle the problem. View it from someone elses point of view not only your own. You may be surprised after you do how you my come to a compromise. If you are flying off the handle often, steam for hours on end, lash out at others and can not deal with things seek help from an anger management program. Before you act in a violent manner and do harm to anyone or yourself get help. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Cash	Everyone gets mad. It's how you handle it. You're asking so you are aware and working on it. Go for a good, foot pounding into the pavement, head down so you don't have to talk, walk AND deep breath.
