hmm... I have a bad temper problem... when i'm angry.. i just lose it... and that spoils my whole day... like the more ppl tell me something the more i get angry..... so its best... when im in a bad mood.. i like to be alone... avoid everybody.. and then slowly cool down by myself.... like go out shopping or walk in the park till i cool down....

i can say that i can calm myself by thinking of other things and by thinking that making fights are just a waste of time. I don't want my day to have a bad start. Sometimes when i am very angry i can't control myself, I'll just take a stroll to forget it.

When I get angry I think about all the good things in the world and all the past memories that had made me happy and proud. This is one of the way I tries to calm myself. Otherwise, I will just go and sit near the beach or allow the sea water to fall on my legs. I also sometimes take walk and this helps to decrease my bad mood.

I calm myself when I am angry by talking about it with someone I know will be able to just listen and not condemn me or try to slow my down. Just letting it pour out can be very relaxing. The fresh air can do wonders aswell. Taking your mind of it is the other side of the medaillion and it can work good aswell. I guess it depends on how angry you are and if you have a friend close you can and would like to talk to.
