I can't offer you alot of advice other than the advice offered to me by my anger councilor a nunber of years ago. Think.

I find that music helps me to calm down alot, as does driving. Get yourself a pair of headphones (no point in punishing neighbours or S.O.'s with loud music) and find something that you can truly connect with. I find it depends on how angry I am. Sometimes something mellow like Perfect Circle or Gandharvas and sometimes I will need something like Fear Factory or RATM. A friend rides his bike.

Different people will have different relaxing activities and music may not be yours.

Now, your problems may be brought on by medication and that may be a different situation altogether. You should definatly seek some professional advice. Consult with the doctor who put you on this medication.

I used to have extreme outbursts (luckily only on inanimate objects, so the only person I hurt was myself). I spent some time with a councilor and in the 14 or so years since I don't think I have had more than 5 such outbreaks. It also helps if your friends and family are willing to work with you on this.
