    I'm really pissed right now. At my parents, at myself, at... Everything. I'm not one to physically/verbally express anger around people though because it's all internalized. I almost never get angry in the first place, but when I do, it's like I've swallowed dynamite. My whole body shakes. I know I need a way to vent, and I try with rock music and strenuous exercise but still.

    How do you deal with anger? Should I find a way to safely express it or should I try to repress and calm down?

    This is probably unusual. One would think everyone would know how to regulate emotion.

    Hm, I'm a bit more impulsive, so it solves the problem in a sense, but also generates problems... I just direct it at the person or thing that made me angry, simply. If not, I run, go ride the bike or play instruments if I manage to brake down a bit and don't find it reasonable to shout at that particular person for that particular problem. I run until I feel like dying. Sometimes I just start cleaning, making shopping lists etc.
