smashing the **** out of things is a huge help to me.

shooting used to help a lot too, only targets never furies but i dont feel like i can trust my self to do that anymore
If you think things can't get worse it's probably only because you lack sufficient imagination.

I used to be violent so I suppose that helped.

I'm hopefully starting weight lifting soon, god a good school friend who goes, scared to go on my own just yet. Will get into it tho.

Weight lifting is a good way to deal with this as you are channeling your agession into lifting.

Telling him everything may be the best thing you could have done. Well done for doing this. He might be able to keep giving you that push you need. Weight lifting is an excellent idea. I hope you find some relief in this. I use resistance training and it works very very well for my pent up agression and frustration. I also did karate but have had to stop this for a while as I would be a danger to myself and others at present. I miss it very much though, it's very good for focus and channeling, the kaia in karate is VERY relieving and if you need to get somthing out, boy does everyone know about it.

Just gotta wait till he's free on nights again as his working patterns have changed.

Once I get started at a gym, I'll be fine, its just the first couple of times till I get used to going.  Hate going to things on my own.

Have you got a door bar? using your own body weight against itself is good. If not press ups and sit ups can be temporarily relieving.

They're not too expensive but they will cause mild damage to your door frame and surrounding wall depending on how you use it. All stuff yuo can correct though, just warn the missus or you'll be in trouble!  ;)
