rage

Post Reply New Topic

Normally I'm totally not a rage person and more calm in my feelings towards others, but at the moment I have some problems with rage. And I don't like it.

How do I deal with it?
How do I get rid of it?

Been there, and know how draining it can be. Regular exercise, lots of loud abrasive music, and writing have helped in the past.

Don't you like rage?
It's the best Emotion for me, I get over so much s**t because of it.
And music just lets me enjoy it more.

You can try to find an artistic outlet to express your rage and/or talk about it with friends. Here are some art examples:

-drawing
-painting
-sculpting
-culinary arts
-sewing/knitting
-dance
-crafts
-musical instruments
-singing
-dancing
-writing
-listening to music

Oh that's a nice idea, I could work with clay.
I have once done it in therapy.

Also the advise for exercise is good, I just have to finde the energy to do so...!

....against the machine?

Sorry, that popped into my head and wouldn't go away. When I feel ragey, (which my job leaves me with quite frequently) I used to read to forget about it and let it pass, but I've stopped that because I realized that I have an unhealthy addiction to books >.<. Now I just draw, or play video games usually something with lots of explosions, though i think its more of a matter of playing a game that requires your full attention.

reading eastern philosophy helps me - taoism, buddhism. i also like dailyzen.com

Where is your rage pointed at? Anger is your way of telling yourself somethings wrong and needs to be fixed. If it can't be fixed, you have to teach yourself to accept it as part of life.

I'm sorry you're having trouble with rage. I have problems with rage, too, frequently (something triggered it last night) - but a couple things I've found helpful are taking time to relax or take a long nap, or drawing. Drawing has always been cathartic for me. I wish I knew how to make the rage go away completely, tho. *HUGS*

I have a very short fuse when it comes to rage. I dont stay angry for very long but if a few things go wrong right after another it will set me off.

I have rage problems sometimes too. I'll be watching this thread for advice because I'm TERRIBLE at dealing with it. My response is usually to stomp around, shout a lot and maybe kick some inanimate objects. Not constructive :/

i had a MASSIVE problem with rage in december and early january.

I was making a band with a girl i liked, and had been for 6 months. If im right about having AS, she would have been one of my Asperger's Interests.
id introduced her to my friends and she became part of the group
in december i find out shes joining their band instead. i was so angry with her and with my friends for it - theyd been doing it for a month and hiding it from me. i spent the first few days shouting every swear word i could think of down the phone (yes, i was actually that angry i made a phone call, which is rare for me), i massively fell out with them too. by late december i was depressed and knew i messed up and i literally wanted to kill myself.
New years eve they prank called me as a group and i went into a rage again, and then wanted to kill myself again.
January, i went into a rage again.

i hate feeling like that. its something i really want to stop, and may be a part of "explosive anger" which has been linked to AS due to people with AS being overly emotional or sensitive.

honestly, i havent found a way to deal with it yet, and its something im trying to do. if you get anywhere with it, can you let me know?
