I go more form smashing plates than walls. makes a better sound. Will throw anything that makes a really god thunk, crash or thud. In the process of my tempertantrum, I usually end up throwing my back, shoulder etc out. I know the clean up process if not the act itself will pull out of alignment my back or pick a joint. So I guess u could say I intentionally hurt myself.

I tore a door off and tossed it down my hallway once. That was the only time I remember, the rest I black out and did stuff...so I understand.

Get a canvas and when you are pissed let the canvas have it. It is like therapy. Turn the emotions into art.

Ellei's idea is very good. Better to have a creative outlet than destructive. I was once amazed at the state of a cooking pot I once made. And the mess of tomato sauce on the walls. I spent weeks finding bits and cleaning it off. And of course that isn't the only time! One time I lost it and smashed a bunch of flowers. How stupid did I feel after that one!

I have a few holes and broken doors to repair in my home as well.

I tore the screen door off, frame and all because I couldn't get it open. I did not enjoy trying to explain THAT one when my husband came home. God bless him he just didn't ask. Smart man.

Been there. I think, in my case, I was striking something inanimate to keep from striking some one. Still, not a good idea if you can avoid it. Liked ellei's idea, turn to something constructive whenever possible.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
