Hit the gym. Nothing wrong with working out the frustration and getting physically fit at the same time. [emoji846]  I am also a fan of motorcycles. A ride usually gets me in the right state of mind. [emoji41]

I tried the whole gym thing for a little bit it did not work out well

Hey Arianna,

I would try walking and listening to uplifting music ( ie nothing angry or negative)  Also watching comedy shows really helps change your mood,  make sure you have a whole season to binge watch and you'll find after 2 or 3 episodes that your mood can change.
My favourite comedies are, Absolutely Fabulous, Kath & Kim, Seinfeld, The Office ( UK and USA versions), Extras, Gimme Gimme Gimme, the IT crowd.

I found in the past a punching bag was a doubled edged sword, yes you get the anger out but you also end up exercising your anger....so I stopped doing it. 
Getting a massage is also really good to relax.

Take care,

Sonja.

Dear Sonja:
Very good advice about getting a massage to relieve stress and resulting anger.   In addition, getting pampered at a hair or nail salon, or a spa can do wonders to improve one's mood.

When I am really stressed out I also will go to the gym and workout, or go out for a long solitary walk, jog, or run....  while doing those activities I can ponder my issues, cool off, and come back with a clearer mind.

I sincerely hope, Arianna, that some of the suggestions that you are getting on your thread will help... it seems that nothing that is suggested is working for you.....  keep working on it... stress and anger are not productive.

Thank you very much Danielle as well as everybody else I am taking and everything that all of you are saying and considering what would best work for me now that I know the punching bag ideas off limits LOL I don't need to be angrier I'm angry enough

Umm stress and anger. Well. Those are definitely two things I deal with on a regular basis. One thing I won't turn to to help me cope is men.
Things I do are walking, a lot. This does help me, but it's also getting colder and windy.
I think keeping an open body stance is important. When you're at home try not to cross your legs or arms. Breathing can help too but only if you know how to use it to your advantage and not let your anxiety/stress take over...
None of this is easy. I fail at walking and breathing almost daily. Even talking to friends, family, doctors or therapists sometimes doesn't feel very helpful to me.
I think looking forward to things does help me. So rather than just talking, I like doing things with people too.
Also time to yourself is important. Playing hard and partying even harder isn't really the smartest thing to do for me.

🤔 well, the gym is not for everyone... I break out my iPod and crank the music... get out of my head and hit the heavy weights. When I'm concentrating on other things, frustration goes away. Same for motorcycles... it'll take your mind off of stuff and the problems melt away down a scenic mountain pass under the rumble of the pipes.

I think right now the biggest thing bothering me is a sinus infection I have because only certain medicine gets rid of it and I can't get the medicine
