What do YOU do when your upset?

TooPowerful4u · Nov 14, 2006

All iv ever done when i was upset was go to the gym. I cant do that day and night. What do some of you like to do when you are upset to pass the time and get your mind off things and think positive?

Jerkyboy · Nov 14, 2006

go outside do some shadow boxing?

nah, seriously though either a late- night drive by myself or call up a buddy and bitch their ear off

one of those usually does the trick 4 me

Sometimes I pull out my favorite BB magazine or Video and pop it in the machine and watch the time fly by. For me it's almost always any Lord of The Rings dvd. 3 hours long will make you forget about alot of stuff, hahaha,

but if I am really stressed and need to get out more aggression then I get on my PC, I have a bunch of first person shooter games. You are so consumed by the game that you forget about whatever in minutes. ( thats how i burned dinner twice-hahaha)

I do the same thing, the gym has become my sanctuary...I used to read but that doesnt work out anymore for me...Sometimes I write letters to people (usually that is the source of my problems--other people). I write my feelings to them in an email and get it out so I can vent. Those people never see the letters I write though...but it does help a lot. Good topic.

Sometimes it seems nothing can take my mind off it or the pain away. Even in the gym i use that sadness to drive me, but i never top thinking about it. All day im starin at my phone waiting for a text. All night at the gym last night i stared around the gym thinking maybe shed walk in. Just dont get how she can be totally ok with not talking to me at all when we probably sent 100+ texts a day while we were at work and havent gone more than a few hours without texting/speaking for even ONE day for the past six months. Gotta shake this funk, its hard

Just think positive. Good thoughts are refreshing me in minutes. I am convincing myself that life is beautiful after all and worth living it. Then I realise that also bad is part of my life, and allways the sun will come after every storm. Very poetic, isn't? But it is true.

BOOMSHAKER · Nov 14, 2006

TP4U, (sounds funny when you type it like that haha) women will do that to you brother. But you have to as you said "shake it off". If you know you put everything you could into it, and yet no phone calls or text messages then know your the better person and be done with it. However for whatever reason( i dont know what it was about) if she does text you now, are you willing to go through all the BS all over again??? I dont think so. So just let it go and know there really is someone better out there for you brother!

I would be ok... except its the only girl i ever met who is exactly like me.. mentally, emotionally, we enjoy the same things.... love the gym for the same reasons.... its tough i thougth i found the perfect one... still think she was... but i cant have her

TP, I'm sorry to hear you are having women trouble. They do get the best of us sometimes. I think I've gotten stronger over the years after dealing with relationship problems. They used to kill me when I was your age. Consumed me is more like it. You'll get past it and fortunately, with every breakup you'll get more numb to the fact of someone else's selffish actions. Not that the breakup itself is fortunate, but like I said you will get stronger. I think you need another hobby, man. Just one, the gym, will make it really hard to get over stuff. Years ago when I finally got a handle on it (or at least think I do) I started concentrating on business when I would have these troubles. You'd be surprised at what you can do in a short time when you're pissed and vent in a constructive way. Good luck to ya.

I either listen to music, talk to someone I can RANT to....heavily LOL (a good friend....girls are always good to talk to), or I read positive books.

The thing that helps me most though is my faith of KNOWING things will be better and everything will be alright though. Just keep telling yourself that. I just believe that God has greater things in store for me in the future, and this helps me not worry as much about the things of today, that I "THOUGHT" were soo important....only to later on realize, they were extremely petty and I was blinded by my emotions.

Big Bapper · Nov 14, 2006

I tell myself that nothing lasts for ever(pain) and someday I will look back and laugh as it is only temporary after all nothing lasts forever unless you let it..............TPFU bro sometimes no matter how much we put into a relationship or anything in life if its not working out we have to walk away and I know were you are comeing from. The sooner you leave it in the past the sooner you get over it. Then the sooner you can start packing on some serious SIZE.

neverbigenuf · Nov 14, 2006

Tree hugging and singing Kumbaya has never worked for me. I always focus on my anger before I lift, it motivates me. I also practice Jiu Jitsu/MMA. For those times I'm REALLY pissed, I have a heavy bag out bag, I lace up and give it everything I have and then at least 50 more good shots till I'm totally exhausted, can't breathe, can't move. For anybody who has boxed, you know once you pass that pain and exhaustion comes a euphoric relaxation. Clears my mind and body.

Or I just jerk off, haha

OuchThatHurts · Nov 14, 2006

I grab my car or the jeep and get on the expessway towards I-95S. I drive as long as I have too. Hours sometimes. I stop and treat myself to a soda. Just cut through the night by myself, radio barely audible. I keep telling myself, "You know, you don't have to go back (over and over)." Until I start to actually entertain the idea and realize how much I stand to lose if I did just drive away one day. At that point, I get off the first exit, hit the on-ramp back and suck it up.

Much like that kid you saw at the gym with the atrophy problem. He's thinking of all the things he'd leave behind if he didn't get out there and JUST DO IT. So there he is, the brave little man. Good for him.

The best way to get over an old girlfriend is to get a new girlfriend. If it was meant to be it will happen.Love shouldn't be forced it should be natural.

exactly! shoving 5 bucks down her blouse and telling her she's a bad girl is not gonna cut it!

Go online get some good porn, take care of business pop 2 ripped fuels, plow through your workout, and get a good nights sleep. Things can always be worse. My Girlfriends brothers wife went for a sonogram of her baby, it is 3 months in the womb, and they couldnt find a heartbeat, turns out the baby died and she has to have some procedure to get it out now..

The Real Mako · Nov 15, 2006
