Dealing with frustration

[Ermz]

Since I spend about 95% of my time feeling like I want to kill someone, I was wondering if any of you had techniques for dealing with frustration?

So far I've tried drinking until in a blind stupor, and that has worked great, but unfortunately only lasts a few hours, and the hangover sucks.

Sorry dude, but drinking doesn't help to much. I would if I were you, go out and run, go box or just workout. Maybe it's not what you want to hear but you get a real feeling off relief when you've done it.

Working out solves almost everything. That said I'm NOT a workout freak or anything. But I walk alot with my dog and it helps me think and reflect on my daily life. Occasionally I do work out or run and it really helps.

 

[Ermz]

Totally agree with you. I used to work out a lot over about 3-4 years ago, and I'm thinking this weekend I'll pop down to the nearest sports store, grab a bench and some more weights. I always loved fucking myself up while listening to pig grind.

sex. But like drinking it only works up to a few hours.

weed. Opipramol. Uppers. Sex. Sports.

what type of frustration? what's the source?

I'm constantly fustrated, furious and angry. I find that the best way to get your anger out is to beat it out - get a boxing bag and beat the shit out of it. I get angry while I'm recording even, I just have to put my guitar down then because I could just smash it to pieces in anger

Best of both worlds. You can fuck it then beat the living crap out of it!

I just left my fries in the oven too long.

FUCK

FUCK

FUCK

Seriously, I nearly cracked the shits and was about to go outside and smash something
It can't be healthy to get worked up over shit like that

+2.

You have to deal with the source. If that's not possible, then you at least need to come to terms with the fact that you can't change it, and move on (well... at least try to)

That's where I'm currently at, and why I'm looking for a release to help the process along.

Sex, workout, smash something or buy new gear
All of these can make you happy.
And don't be frustrated, your mixes are awesome bro.

yoga

 

[plague_rider]

some sort of outlet, whether its physical or just mentally stimulating...

I maintain my mates guitars for them and i find that relaxing, just a way to slip into my own world and ignore everything...

you're not currently detoxing from anything (eg. Smoking) are you??

 

[Mago]

working out, jogging, sex, screaming around ; )

 

[DaWolf]

Play drums.

Seriously, when I get that frustrated, I take a nice brisk walk to clear my head. Although, I believe you said the temperatures are ridiculously high lately, so that might piss you off even more!!!

But, whenever possible, at least for me the solution is the simplest - get up and walk away for 10-20 minutes. Come back with a clear head and tackle the issue again.

 

[James Murphy]

well, you handily avoided answering the question, so i'll assume it's personal. good luck in your pursuit.

Pushups ! Or any other kind of workout. Releases Seratonin and dopamine. If I didn't work out constantly I would probably need to be on some bi polar meds
