does anyone know any methods of calming down? Because right now I'm so wound up I can barely see straight.

I feel like whacking something bottled blonde.
Failing that, music.
Failing that, punchbag.
Juggling is too bloody frustrating and will not make you feel better.
Do a search.

Wish that'd happen to the guy who wound me up in the first place...
not too great if you don't quite die though.
stuff of nightmares.
Or just go watch a DVD or something.
I try not to get wound up in the first place.
True, this guy, a few sundays back was lying in the road in front of a coach and we went past there today and theres like spray paint on the floor and flowers on the railing type things by it. I think he died, poor guy.
And edited to add: At least if you didnt die your mind would be taken off what you were wound up about, eh?
This Mind factsheet on dealing with anger may help you out. Also check out our feature on coping with stress also has some good tips.
A good quick fix is rescue remedy - you can get it in Boots and litwerally just put a few drops onto your tongue for an instant calming effect.
Take care.
Yup this used to help when i had panic attacks.
haha, I once kicked the fireplace here at home, and the other time the stairs. If anything, my own stupidity pissed me off even more.
I pace when I get angry, or growl... don't really do anything special.
