Curious: what do you do when you are in a SUPER bad mood?

(I'm not saying I am, just wondering what people do when they are.)

Do you try to get away from all other people if you can?

Do you beat up your pillow or any other inanimate object?

Scream and growl a lot?

Share!

(I'm not talking about normal run of the mill bad moods. I mean MEGA bad moods.)

10. Beating the shit out of a pillow was suggested to me by my tank crewchief

once. It was good advice, unfortunately I have to use it now and then. Even more unfortunately I forget that advice :nuke:

12. I find it to be so unsatisfying, though.

The pillow just gives up without a fight.

Dammit.

15. Yes, but the expense of energy can be valuable

and sometimes even lead to a nice endorphin rush - although that takes a lot of pillow pounding

wait, I mean, nevermind :D

13. I've used a really good long workout

and a few minutes in the sun (a bit of Vitamin D) as a mood lifter.

Or at least a way to keep from strangling anyone.

It worked pretty well. With the workout, I was too damn tired to do or say much afterwards, anyway.

That always cures a lousy mood. Also, trashing republicans on the Internet while listening to classic rock n roll always cures the blues:)............

you just have to make sure you know how to punch, or you could really hurt yourself.

23. My stepdad taught me how to box.

It was weird. Not just throw a punch, but to really box. Gloves and all.

And he taught me to throw a good elbow while playing basketball. He thought it was very important for a girl to know how to do that.

Weird guy, I know.

26. OMG we should SO duke it out someday.

Edited on Thu Jul-07-05 09:17 PM by Bouncy Ball

I have a sneaky left hook.

When my dad got older (and drunker) and I got older (and stronger), he decided lessons were over. I'd do this thing where I'd get him defensive and turning to his left, round and round and round, so that he's concentrating more on the right side of my body, then I'd bring up that left fist, BAM right on his jaw.

We were a bit violent, I know.

But after I got that down, he decided we were done.

:D

20. i try to stay away from people,

i don't want to be a total bitch to someone who didn't have a hand in my mood, and my animals, because they fight and make me even madder. i usually make a big old glass of ice tea, get a good book and go in my room to read.

i've tried to go shopping to put myself in a better mood but it doesn't work because there are so many IDIOTS WHO CAN'T DRIVE on the road. i think i just got a little mad.

35. i have decided i will probably die while i am driving.

probably from an burst blood vessel because i get so mad. but i figure it also counts as an aerobic workout because my heart speeds up. luckily i have fairly low blood pressure.

21. Isolate.

It's best that I not be around people if I'm in a really bad mood. I'm an introvert at the best of times; stress makes solitude an imperative.

25. I think it'd be funny to get a whole bunch of introverts (like myself)

together for a big ol' introvert party right when everyone is in the mood to be left alone. (Because introverts CAN be quite social, as you probably know!)

Would we still feel compelled to socialize because we were there?

Or would it be the most absurd "party" ever, with the guests drifting away to their cars within five minutes of arriving?

:rofl:

39. That's an even better idea.

Introvert Democrats in Very Bad Moods Party. And no drugs of any kind available.

Shortest party ever.

27. I put on my iPod

and listen to the loudest, most shrieking, most heinous industrial noise I have on there...the kind of stuff that'll make you bleed profusely from both eyeballs for 6 weeks. It calms me down and pretty much leeches the SUPER bad mood out of my brain.

Oh, and anyone who comes near me is DEAD!

Anyone who ignores my warning (issued only once) and comes near me anyway gets killed twice. :P

But I used to and my coping mechanism of choice was always beer. Lots and lots of beer.

31. I close myself off from people and the world.

Most of the time it involves bitching and complaing, a hot bath, and a cold drink(s).

51. Kids are in bed so hubby got an ear ful....

Pregnancy hormones and having a 4 yr old totally defy you all day mixed with a very upset stomach isnt fun.

Not to mention he didnt have to go into work until 12 and he was up and raring to go at 9 am and if it wasnt for me he would've went. THEN... his store closes at 8 and he didnt walk in the door until 10. hmm... Dont see my hubby much - mostly 9-8 shifts all week and he wants to go in early? ARG.

Grounds for me being pissed IMO :)

40. If I can, I take a little road cruise: some cold diet pop, some smoke,

some tunes, and some cigarettes. And kleenex.
Rotten gas guzzling filthy habit, I know....but it makes me feel better.
Sometimes I go out to the cemetery to talk to my daughter; that's what I'd do if she were here, so sometimes it helps to do it anyway.

Seven and a half years to the day this most recent Independence Day - her fave holiday next to Christmas.
She was my best girlfriend -

Hope you have a batch of loving memories of your grands to comfort you...:hug:
