Anger!
I have some major justified anger & I don't know how to deal with it! I can't smoke, drink, or EAT! WTH. My best friend told me to walk it off, but y'all would be calling me "Forrest Gump" if I did. I'd keep walking until I was 2 states away solving my anger issue. But seriously, any ideas? I'm somewhat calmer now than earlier today, but my gut reaction was, Hey there's McD's! I went shopping instead.
To top it off, I drank 2 ozs of water a little too soon & a little too fast after eating my awesome boiled shrimp for lunch. I'm kinda miserable right now. This puts me 16 ozs of water & a protein shake behind schedule for the day...UGH!
I write it out and work it out. It helps me to clarify my feelings to write things down, so I can pinpoint exactly what I feel the problem is and if there are any possible solutions. Even if there isn't, it helps to get it out.
I always feel better after some exercise, no matter how pissed I was to start. I find it hard to sustain a good mad after a half hour or so of walking, or stomping, as I've sometimes done.
I fight badgers with spoons.

I decided to get back on Lexapro.. it really helps with my emotions... I hate to be dependent on drugs... but I am in much better mood... at least for now.

Talk about it. Write about it. Write a letter to the person you're angry at (you don't have to send it). Punch a pillow. Put on loud, fast music and dance. Scrub your bathtub.

Hee hee. Maybe I'll work on that.

If your bathtub isn't dirty, you can come scrub mine.
