Writer's Workshop: When I'm Upset

From Kathy's Blog:




I do a lot of different things when I'm upset. They vary depending on if it's angry-upset or sad-upset. Sometimes anger will morph into sadness. Or vice versa. I've found I tend to deal with anger better.

Sometimes I'll listen to loud, angry metal music to help vent aggression.

Sometimes I'll cry. This goes for both sadness and anger. If I get so angry I cry, watch your ass. Because then I'm only one step away from throwing things at you. I rarely miss.

Sometimes, especially when I'm sad, I'll intentionally do things to make myself more upset, to the point where I'll cry. The reason for that is simple. Crying makes me feel better. It's a release. Sometimes nothing does the trick like a good cry.

Sometimes I write cheesy, emo-angsty poetry that no one will ever read.

Sometimes I vent to whoever will listen.

Sometimes I blog.
