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.. |
Well you could go out and kill 150 people in murderous rage with a samurai sword, but I would not endorse that, and theres a good chance that you wouldn't feel any better after.
Otherwise, I encourage you to check out my post about the Ladder of Emotions. I hope it can be of some service.
