It depends on the cause I should think. If someone like killed your entire family in front of you, then I'm gonna go with no. Back when I was heavily medicated - shut up - one of the drugs, I forget which one, used to make me super angry for no reason at all. What helped me was physically exhausting myself via self-inflicted pain. Pain will tire you right out my friend. Now granted, I only practiced that while I was on medication that gave me the problems to begin with. Come to think of it, I was down right insane back then so never mind. I used to argue with people that I could kill a bear with my bare hands (I was like 15 years old and pretty thin as well). Delusions of grandeur, violent tendencies, obsessive compulsiveness, depression, yeah, ignore this entire post.

3 years is a long time to be mad about something. If there's something you can do about it then do it. otherwise, try doing the sane thing and get the fuck on with life.

Perhaps you didn't read my post. I WAS MEDICATED AND IT MADE ME DO SRANGE THINGS I WOULDN'T NORMALLY DO. Leave me alone. All I remember about it was that I was angry ALL the time so I thought I might have some insight for nordy here. Apparently though, I really don't. All I can say is that is that you need to find an outlet, preferably a healthy one. So, say, murdering people is out.

Bro, Unfortuantly it can last forever! If you can learn to channel it, you can live with it! Otherwise it will eat you up alive! If you can't control it you will have to commit to Psychotherapy (if regular therapy or drugs don't do the trick) otherwise your gonna do something stupid! Your not taking Methyl T are you? Because that would explain alot!

Well, i'm not angry at anyone but these people. I don't have road rage or anything, i don't get mad at people in supermarkets. But 2-3 times a week (maybe up to 8 times a week) i go into murderous rages against them, and i can't talk my way out i just have to let the rage empty itself.

i do channel it and i try to become more independent & perceptive. The incident was due to my own ignorance. I used to be one of the most dense people you would ever meet, i didn't know shit from shit. But now, 3 years later, people compliment me on my ability to 'see things the way they are'. I use this event to reinforce the importance of always being on my toes & trying to know whats going on around me. How people are reacting & acting.
I understand rage. Fantacizing about things isn't bad IMO. It helps you to deal with the anger. If it were me, I always think about the consequences of my actions, something I didn't do all the time when I was younger. I just wonder what these assholes did to cause you so much rage.

Im working through some issues of anger at the moment too.
Im friends with a guy in my area who has something similar to what i have - not going to go into details - but he suggested taking some time during the day, lying down on a couch, or bed, and inviting the offending emotions to come to the surface.
Ive tried this a few times, and Ive ended up in a rage, pounding my pillow (the pillow pounder!) and swearing into it. I just let whatever i want to say and feel flow out of me. Fuck everything else. Fuck right, fuck wrong, fuck what i should or should not be thinking. I just let it come out.
And you know what? A few times after i did that, I felt better. I felt more 'cheery'. I felt like i didnt need to hide the pain so much. I felt like it was ok to feel it.
Nord, I have no idea what your going through, whether youve already tried something like this , or if this could even work for you. You may want to give it a shot though.
Another thing Ive learned in my journey is dwelling on pain, anger, and resentment excessively can hurt a person as well. Sometimes people can dwell on things far too much, which causes more problems then it solves. I did that for a long time.
I suppose a guideline, at least for expressing emotion, is to allow the feelings to come out in a safe environment, acknowledge them, but dont dwell excessively on the feelings. Take sometime, scream, rant, rave, smash your mattress, but after youve let it all out, give yourself a break and move on to something else.
My buddy told me he would do this sometimes 5-6 times a day, 10-30 minutes each session. He obviously had some issues. I usually take between 10-20 minutes practicing this when I feel something is bothering me. Just letting it all flow out. Everybodys needs are different.
I dont know man. I certainly dont have all the answers. And im new to this stuff too. Physically exhausting ones body is a great way to indirectly release emotional stress, but sometimes the emotion needs to be consciously acknowledged. Sometimes a person needs to confront the feelings on an emotional level, and allow themselves to experience the emotion, before it begins to dissipate.
My buddy told me it took him 6 months of practicing this venting technique before his anger and sadness began to leave. He's around 50 and been sitting on those issues for decades, so your sitting pretty, relatively speaking.
