I think of everything logically and try to admit what I did wrong

I also try and raise my self esteem by telling me what I did right.

This is such a complex question that it is foolish to answer like most people here did.

It obviously depends on the details of the OPs life, from current problems, to stuff that are already deeply in the core of his identity.

Some things like listening to music might help you in the short term, but it's obvious that it's just covering up the problem that's bothering you, consciously or subconsciously.

but in general yeah I think a very healthy lifestyle is the only natural fix


This guy knows what he's talking about.

Working out and having a decent healthy lifestyle, helps a lot to keep your cool almost all the time. Everybody have it's days and stuff, but doing stuff, running, cardio w/e you want it to be is excellent for your overall health and specially mental one.

When you exercise, you burn a lot of toxins (?) that stay on your body until you sweat them out (or pee them ;P), if the amount of these is too high, you're more likely to be hyperactive and stuff.

So yes, work the fuck out .

read a book or listen to music, you'll just get in a slow paced rut if you get high or watch TV.

I find drinking a nice cup of tea with a decent amount of milk helps calm me down and focus a lot .

Sit down in a dark room and take deep breaths for 10 min while focusing on only one thing, like the humming of your computer. Do this once a day and you should feel better. I'm positive most people have heard of this technique but have never actually tried it. I didn't believe it worked until I tried it one day and it calmed me down quite a bit.

I have a very hard time calming myself down. I always have to constantly be thinking about something, doing something, or just something something something. The calm state of mind is so ever elusive. When I need a break from starcraft, I don't just take a break, I have to download or upload or compress convert or do some background task just so that I'm not wasting my time being away from my computer. I go take a nap or something to calm me down, but I am never quite calm down when I can just sit and stare at my computer for like 1 minute before doing something. How do you guys get into a calm, submissive state of mind/being?


methinks you have adhd, check with your psychiatrist.

or stop taking ecstasy.


Yeah, I was going to say that sounds like ADHD, especially since I have the same problem (I have ADHD too). Try reading a good book. I just finished Ender's Game, and now I'm reading this collection of over 100 short stories by Ray Bradbury. Whenever I'm feeling antsy, just reading one or two of those short stories helps a lot.
hehehe...

I calm myself by sitting and thinking about nothing, it works quite well becuase it usually ends up in me getting so bored a just eventually fall asleep

The back of my monitor fits nicely into the wall. Also there's a hole I punched in my door, and some on my wall I still need to fix.

Seriously though, Racenilatr, there are 3 solutions:

1. Ware yourself out by getting a punching bag and smacking the shit out of it. Or, you could work out until you have no strength left. If you can't tranquilize your anger, feed it until it is sated.

2. Practice Buddhism. I'm not saying you should convert but going to some Buddhist classes and learning to utilize incense and meditate would prove very helpful.

3. Porn. Either watch some relaxing lezie scenes and solos or watch the hardcore stuff to take your anger out. There are some really nice sites out there from which you can stream porn and also have videos listed by categories. Pick your favorite and begin the calming process.

I normally would laugh at this, but not after I just finished reading "Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs."
