When I got home from work last Monday, I was in a seriously angry mood. I could barely exchange hellos and how was your days with Rob for fear my anger would come spurting out. He wasn’t even the least bit to blame for my mood, it was just a lot of things piled on throughout the day and I just got so so frustrated.
My daily schedule is always different, which I love, but requires serious organization.
My cure for frustrated anger: going for a fast, hard run. Something about working my body and sweating just helps me clear my head and level out my emotions. 4 miles later, I was feeling much better and could have an actual, pleasant conversation with my fiancé.
Since I am not one to get overly annoyed or angry, my rage surprised even me. Thank you beautiful trail for giving me endless miles to relax.

RQ: How do you deal with serious anger?

Sadly, I’m one of those people with an awful temper and my family gets the short stick a lot. When I know that I’m super cranky sometimes I just remove myself for awhile. (I don’t usually workout since that is first thing every morning and I’m too old for 2 a days anymore).
Glad that your run helped you!!!
I’m sure that stress is contributing right now for you, too!
At least you have found a coping strategy to keep your family out of the fire. Stress is definitely not helping.
I like running as well for when I am angry!!
Also…only like 10 days til you get married! You better use fiance as much as you can!!! But when JG and I got married, I still called him my fiance (on accident!), it was so weird to think that I had a “husband” lol!!
It’s so funny you mention that! I’ve been trying to work in to regular conversation. Since we’ve only be engaged for 4 months, I haven’t had much opportunity to use it.
Hmmm…how DO I deal with serious anger? Good question. Cooking calms me. So does tea and a good book. Also, cuddling. I’m a cuddle bug. Luckily my husband is too. It would probably be a problem otherwise. Haha! Ps – you’ll be married so soon and I can’t wait to see pictures!
I am definitely not inclined to cuddle when I’m angry, so it’s great you and your husband are on the same page. You’re so sweet! So soon!
