We all have moments when our nerves are stretched to maximum and then say things we regret. Surely our lives are in such situations. Happen to lose your temper out of nothing. At first it seems nothing, but in fact are a lot of junk, or not collected in time. A complaint today, an upset tomorrow, said a word wrong yesterday and comes when you remember all, and it seems unbearable to more acceptable and ... explode. A "fire" report which does not leave visible wounds, but dig into the mind and soul of another. And this happens to many. Ideally, you should not annoy us from other people. I do not know if it is good or not. But I know that it can not hurt anyone. Stop the anger to flow, do something to calm down - listening to music, walk, run in the park ... And after you've calmed down you can start a discussion about the problem you have. So you will be able to manifest your grievances without the hurt away. It's not about repression and control, but the manifestation of nerves and anger in a way that does not hurt others. Of course, if you want to hurt, you're free to do, but ask yourself what you get if you do. Nothing, and experience has shown that expression of grievances in a peaceful manner is more constructive.

Right. I myself say and do thing without thinking and you regret it minutes after, It's like your nerves get the best of you ya know? Some people say they black out and what happens then is anonymous and then they snap out of it going "what did i say, or what did i do?"

I relieve anger by praying. I also talk out my problem or listen to music.

Anger isn't something anyone should play with! Everyone has to deal with it but it should be in a non destructive manner. I myself have reached the point of all out explosion, especially in my younger years, this is usually where the damage gets done. We need to look at how we get to that point in the first place. It's not good to hold your anger in or block it out (so we think) or just ignore it, this is never a good thing. Yes sometimes stifling it by listening to music or going to your room and sleeping may help but it may also be burying it and then every time you have a bout with anger it only adds fertilizer to the roots so they can grow wild for a later time when it will then sprout it's ugly blooms. In one way or another it has to be dealt with because if it's not met face to face soon after the problem presents itself there could be disastrous consequences later on. What we're doing wright here is a big help, writing has always been a way to ease ones anger, sadness, fear and even loneliness. Years ago it had to be done with pen and paper directed to the object of the problem at the time. You could send it off to the perpetrator or not, either way helped but usually it would get thrown away. Or even a journal that's a good helpful line of defense. Here too you can make yourself a journal to get it all out, it can be private or you can get input from others who MAY or MAY NOT know you and that can be a great healer as well. I too still hold some issues in and if I don't write or come online to "release it" I feel a big difference in my health, so just remember "release" is the only way to fight any issue.

I would usually stay in my room, listen to music until I fall asleep and when I wake up, I'd feel a lot better and would be able to think and control my reaction to things. :)

I love listening to music(: It's a great way to relieve my anger. My favorite is screamo, though, and that really doesn't succeed in calming me down :O

Well, I guess I have many ways of relieving anger. I listen to music, take a shower (lol), or throw things. The most affective for me is throwing things. If you go outside and pick up random things, just throw them until they break if they are useless. This may seem violent, but at least you're not taking it out on anyone else.
