I am not sure what exactly to do. I am really angry at the moment, and by that I mean really angry. Usually when I am angry I take it out on my workout, well I did that today, hit a new high with my bench and squat. Finished my workout and took a shower, and I'm still angry (I'd rather not say why, an incident occurred today that just made me livid and I've been in a destructive mood since, sort of like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill). Before times I am usually too caught up in the emotion of it, and then later it goes away. But this is the kind of anger where momentary ways to change emotion (listening to a great song, working out, eating, watching TV) don't work in the long run, because I keep returning to the same anger running through my mind. I feel the need to get revenge or some how make it right, anything to stop all these negative emotions from flowing through me.

Any suggestions on what to do here? I really haven't been in a situation like this too many times before..
