[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a big fan of catharsis. I don’t see the people I’ve cut off, but I hear about them, and it sends me into fight or flight mode. I gotta burn that energy off.

I usually go for really fast walks (running would probably be better but I hate it) while blasting angry “F U” music and imagine doing all the things I wish I could do to those people - yelling, screaming, confronting them, saying all the sh!t I wish I could say. If I can’t get out of the house, I’ll lay in bed and tense each muscle group from my feet to my head, one at a time, while imaging doing all the things I can’t do to them in real life.

I’m not a violent person at all and I get it sounds nuts, but it basically tricks my body into thinking it fought and fled and won, and all that stress goes away. [/quote]

This is really good advice. I have an ex friend who lives nearby who hurt me in a similar way (not outright lies, but disclosing private information about me to people at my work, making it so uncomfortable for me I had to quit my job). I learned to never leave the house without my headphones. If I see her, I like to blast music that makes me feel the way I want — powerful, beautiful, take no prisoners, give no f*cks.

It’s an amazing mood boost and I can feel it change my posture, the way I walk, even the expression on my face. Do this, OP.[/quote]
