Lament ---> Anger

well, here's my 2 cents on how to release the anger or sadness you are having... write music... lots of it. it will keep your mind off everything. when you get complete songs done (don't have to be long... 3 - 4 minutes, maybe), write the lyrics... learn to program drums in Guitar Pro or Fruity Loops. Add some guitar... you'll feel ALOT better about anything. Your self-esteem will be significantly higher because you successfully completed a damn cool song, no matter how basic it may be. It works for me. Even if you don't have any body to play it with... hearing the final product is always good enough.
 
Cutting isn't really funny, in my humble opinion. Theres others that bash their heads against walls, and punch themselves, along with slicing. There's specific reasons for this....I don't think making fun of "cutters" is particularly funny, nor suggesting it, either.


A punching bag (I've got one! It's fun as hell!), learn karate or something like that, it helps with both the mind (controlling it), and the body. Definitely learn an instrument, that helps, just like dsm said. Draw, paint, write constantly, put the anger out of your mind and channel it to something creative. Gives anger a better result than just repressing it.

Anger is unspoken requests, of yourself, and of others. You might want to learn different ways of communicating with the people in your life. Ask for things from them, that way you've put it out "there". If you can't get any answers, then you must lean on yourself. Only you can truly help yourself. Ask for help, learn new ways and new paths for creativity. You are in a unique position...if theres something you don't like about yourself, or your life, you can change it. Forget blame, it's useless.

Channel the anger to something creative! Do just like DSM said.
 
I agree with writing music. Play the fuck out of that bass! And take up guitar; you can 'get after it' more on guitar, IMO. And scream! Growl! Do whatever, but be loud as hell (screaming is just my favorite; nothing like throwing on Emperor - Curse You All Men! and just going off with it). Also, try taking up drums. Practice to black metal. Not only will this give you the chance to bash the shit out of something (that's meant to be bashed), you'll be so tired after trying to keep up those blastbeats after a while, you won't be pissed or depressed anymore. Also, drumming feels very urgent, so if it's a 'longing' or 'yearning' sort of anger or depression, this is great for it. But so's guitar, but guitar's great because you can vocalize more clearly emotions through it, since you can make melodies and harmonies -- and then add your own voice over it, if you will. I also agree with writing lyrics. I don't know if this has even happened with you, but sometimes I'll be feeling a really strong emotion, and I'll sit down and write something, and I'll feel drained afterwards.... or powerful. Sometimes you can write something, and then read it once you've finished, and think, 'What the hell have I just written?' You can get chills. But the same (well, even more so) with writing songs, and listening to what you've done. Music is so primal, it's one of the purest ways of releasing emotions, imo. So yeah, play guitar/bass like a maniac, get behind a drumkit, scream like you're possessed or like your life depends upon it, but PLAY MUSIC. Loudly. Then you'll feel better.

P.S. Play music was serious -- loudly wasn't, necessarily. Play however you feel -- loud, quiet, doesn't matter. Just play what you feel, and with urgency.

Play Counter Strike and pwnzor some nubs. Listen to Strapping Young Lad while doing so.

I second that!!! They were amazing live. Devin stopped to take ashit in the middle of the set.

I have no sympathy for cutters. Its like go buy a Used album and save your moms kitchen ware. I have a friend whos a cutter and I kicked her outa my house and told her if I ever saw that shit on her again Id stop talking to her. She stopped.

Also its not hard to know Linkin Park lyrics considering the constantly show them on tv or on the radio or when you go out and see them on 50 differetn kids t shirts who think julia form Uranium is a metal goddess. Id do her but geeze " IM SO METAL KORN ROCKS" what???? Insert cock in mouth, blow.

Wolfy just listen to anything Tomas Lindberg does, that dudes voice always makes me feel better.

Anybody ever notice the dude from Linkin park looks kinda like Justin Timberlake . Oh thats right cause they are all clones.

It's something to think about: donate some of your time to someone else. It gets you out of yourself, and helps you to think of others, and plus, it'll put alot of things in perspective. Simple as writing a letter to a soldier. Look around, anything you're very interested in, someone you could help? Turn the tables, think of others instead of the self. I know its hard when your young to think of a world that's outside of your own, since your world consumes you. It's just something to think about.
