Get the anger out by complaining to anyone who'll listen or go thump a cushion. Once it's out I feel a lot better.

It's not like I have a set rule for dealing with my anger...but a few things I notice that I do are:

1. turn on the TV and watch something funny.
2. eat chocolate
3. remove myself from whatever it is that's making me angry.
4. talk to myself
5. go for a drive
6. pet the dog
7. paint/draw/create something

Now, I do maybe one or more of these things...and it usually calms me down. There are some days that almost everyone around me make me crazy.

I'm glad I have a TV in my room. :lol:

I don't get angry. Honestly, I've only been angry once in my life, and at that time, I was so angry I had no control over myself. I ended up almost throttling my sister, and I think it might have been a meltdown :oops:

sleep
music
separating myself from the cause
resolving the cause

Everyone I know swears by working out when you're angry, as a way to deal with it. It never really took care of my anger...

Imagine putting that NT in an Autistic world, then see how it copes.
'THAT' is revenge, of the highest order.

Makes me feel a helluvalot better.
