I've been feeling very stressed out lately, and it seems like every day I'm on the verge of exploding and doing something really stupid like knocking someone out or breaking random stuff in my house. I wouldn't say I'm angry, but I'm feel very pressured and caged in and I want to explode at the slightest things. I've been more calm this past week, but just today, everything I felt could go wrong went wrong and now I'm really trying to let all the emotions dissipate, but it's not working. Here's some things I've tried over the past couple weeks:
-Lifting: I hate doing this because it breaks up my workout schedule, and all my anger just makes me lift heavier weights at the beginning then burn out really fast, so I can't finish my workout strong, which makes me even more pissed.
-Running: This was alright, but usually I burn out also before I can let all my stress out so I feel bad.
-Music: This works, but I feel I need something to go with it.
-Shadowboxing: I've done this almost every night. I don't have a heavy bag or access to one so I just stand in front of a mirror with hard rap blasting in my room and let punches and kicks fly. But the lack of something to hit kills the point.
-Basketball: This is the best way for me to relax, but on the days I'm super heated I feel like a hard foul is going to start something and get me thrown out of the gym.
I don't want to smoke or drink, I'm underage and I don't want to start. But I really need something to just let all this stress out. I'm not a yeller so I keep it all in, usually I feel better after I sleep but as soon as another school day ends I don't want to talk to anyone... no I'm not some psycho killer (I'm def not about that life), but I just really want to steal off on someone and throw down so I can get the stress out of me. Lately I've just been itching to get my !%* kicked
I'm usually a chill guy but lately all kinds of small stuff has been getting to me. Today I was walking in school trying to get through a door, this asian kid in a pink shirt comes the other way and walks right through and hits me with his shoulder (you know those hits where they just charge straight ahead and you're knocked off course). I wasn't in a good mood and he looked like someone I wouldn't like, along with that stupid pink shirt, so I'm like "yo what the f---" and he turns around and mean mugs me... right then I wanted to destroy his face so bad
, if he hadn't walked away I would have. I was begging for him to lay a hand on me or say something so I had an excuse to rock his jaw
NT, what are some ways I can relax?
