You are who you fuck with. Save it for someone dangerous, not someone ignorant.

Now, I REALLY feel those 3 sentences. Actually, I think I’ll adopt those, if you don’t mind.

Nah…never been to jail. But for other reasons I can relate to the “freedom being taken away.” Not as extreme…but can still relate a little.

I usually get an attack of the rage when I’m frustrated - when I feel that there are things that I have no control over taking over my life. The two things I usually do to control this are:

  1. I think to myself "Will this (ie what happenned) really matter in a week? Will I still care about this tomorrow? I’m alive, I’ve got my health and a loving family, and that is all that matters at the end of the day.

Basically I think “Ok, that guy cut me off. At least I don’t have cancer.” If you do have cancer, you should probably think of some other disease that you don’t have.

  1. Get more sex. No matter how bad my day, everything seems better after a headjob. Getting one, I mean, not giving one.

It’s all about perspective.

Lol, what the HELL is a headjob?

You should find someone who is willing to become your fight buddy, like in Fight Club. You guys can just meet periodically and fight eachother, no hard feelings. You’ll probably become really close! I actually fight my best friend occasionally, and it’s a lot of fun (despite that I broke my wrist in the last fight). Pain can be therapeutic at times.

Give yourself 10 minutes with a heavybag. You can pretend it’s whoever you want. If you kick the shit out of it hard enough for 10 minutes, you’ll be nice and calm when you finish. If that’s not enough, go somewhere secluded and yell “FUCK” as loud and long as you can. That’s some serious therapy right there :slight_smile:

Oh yeah, and sex is good too.

You guys are seriously raged… And I’m sorry…

I take some deep breaths, and go to the boxing gym or weight room. trust me this the best way, I have spent my fair share in an overnight cell because of my bad temper and home town (I’m from a place that if someone makes eye contact that’s a sign of disrespect).
