I have too much pent up rage today...
and I'm really really bad at telling people when I'm angry with them. I feel like screaming til I'm hoarse and hitting something (or someone). I hate feeling like this. :(

2. Well, don't hit me!
:scared:

It wasn't me. I swear I didn't do it. Unless I did, in which case the devil made me do it!

Although I am horrible at taking my own advice, you're just going to have to tell whoever has angered you. Letting it fester isn't going to help. You'll just end up exploding at them.

7. Nope. You didn't do it.
So you're safe for now. :)

And of course you are absolutely right. The amount of anger I feel right now is completely out of proportion to the infraction and I know it's because I push so much stuff down and let it fester. I'm going to end up exploding on someone one of these days in a way that they totally don't deserve.

3. That's not good for you
Why can't you tell them? Can you write it down to get it out of your system? I find working out to really loud music helps me.

:hug:

6. I do a lot of working out...
to dissipate the worst of it. I've been inundated with company and then was traveling for work recently and haven't been to the gym in a few days. That certainly isn't helping.

I can't tell them because I'm a big weenie. :)

5. Ooompa Loompa Doopity Doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doompadah dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me

What do you get when you hold in your rage?
squashing it down like a beast in a cage?
A trigger so slight that the slightest knock?
sends you off like a gun that's half cocked?

Why don't you try writing about why you're mad?
Scribble swear words on a great big sketch pad?
Draw figures squashed, or write an angry song?
You might find that you can't stay angry long.

Oompa Loompa Doompadee Dah
If you're not angry you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa
Oompa Loompa doompadee do



Hope this helps make your day better.

17. LOL!
The only drawback to your post is that now I have the spoof song from the Futurama episode going thru my head. Thanks a lot! :)

12. Anger is great energy!
When I'm angry I pull weeds. Or if there's time to take on a mammoth task like cleaning the basement, I'll take advantage of my anger, and pursue the task with a vengeance.

It's much easier to throw away crap that you don't really need when you're angry. Scrubbing floors with an acid brush, preferably on hands and knees is wonderfully therapeutic...It's as if you're scrubbing away all the bullshit you have to deal with.

Hope you feel better soon, Velma! :hug:

14. Sometimes you're right...
when I'm angry in a general way at the world or pissed off about politics or something like that I have that angry energy. When I'm pissed off at a friend...it's just the opposite. I just feel like crawling under a blanket and not coming out for a while.

Thanks for the hug though. :hug:

18. hey
it's going to be all right. Calm down think of something fun to do while at work or when you get home. Don't let your anger overcome you. You are too good for that.

19. I think I deserve to get angry though.
The way I bottle stuff up and never ever tell anyone how I feel (especially when it's negative emotions) can't possibly be healthy.

20. Don't you know you're not entitled to feel rage?
There are millions of oppressed angry people all over the world who are far angrier than you could ever be!

30. Sort of...
I'm partly mad at him (isn't it ALWAYS a him) and I'm partly carrying around decade old rage from the previous him.

31. As you well know, guys can be dumbasses sometimes
(sometimes? perhaps all the time.)

On behalf of all guys, I apologize. Feel free to deck Dookus. You have my permission.

32. Here! Hit this. Go ahead M'Lynn, slap her!
Clairee: Here! Hit this. Go ahead M'Lynn, slap her!

Truvy: Are you crazy!

Ouiser: Are you high Clairee?

Truvy: Have you lost your mind?

Clairee: We'll do T-Shirts saying I slapped Ouiser Boudreaux. Hit her!

Annelle: Miss Clairee, enough!

Clairee: Ouiser, this is your chance to do something for your fellow man. Knock her lights out M'Lynn!

Ouiser: Let go of me!

Clairee: M'Lynn you just missed a chance of a lifetime. Half of Chinquapin Parish would give their eye teeth to give a whack at Ouiser!

Ouiser: You are a pig from hell.
