How do I Punch a Wall

[Athene]

Sometimes some of the emotions seep through and I want to express it but how and when?

The only thing I barely have time for is work (Workin' on my book and summer homework for AP Biology) and gratitude (for people and myself).
I'm only twelve.
Don't worry I'm not suicidal. I love myself to much. So feel free to tell me how to express myself?

Jeez, kid...I was kinda hoping that someone could tell ME how to do the exact same thing. 

Though, if I had to guess, I'd wager the writing's probably an excellent place to start.
Plus, it's nowhere near as scrape-y on the knuckles.

Go for a jog/intermittent sprint training.
Keep up a weight lifting routine.
Take a martial art.
Go mountain hiking.
Go swim.


If you have to do something physical immediately, do push-ups till failure.


Do something constructive, not destructive to yourself.

I run a lot, was on track (quit it tho but made 1st place on the mile run )

Don't have weights to lift so I just lift random shit.

Don't have time to take martial arts.

I'm 12 so I can't randomly just stroll up a mountain.

Learning how to swim.

I didn't actually want to punch a wall it's an exaggeration.

I wrote stuff in a journal but it just makes me feel more depressed.
It worked at first but not anymore.

Journaling, and writing poetry, helped me, when I used to do that, yeah.

Like I said it used to help but now it just makes me feel bad.

I suppose it depends what you write about, and how you approach it?

For me, even on bad days, when I wrote about the BS that made it bad, I always tried to find one good thing to say about the day. It worked for me. Different strokes for different folks, maybe.

I guess my advice is glean the positive and don't dwell on the negative. It's probably a lot easier for me to say, at my age; not talking down to you in saying that, just acknowledging that as the years go by it's clearer that what might seem like a dramatic emotional swing is simply another of life's tics. Even if you don't resume journaling perhaps give that outlook a shot? There's a lot to be said for being emotionally balanced and centered. Emotional extremes -- and yes, I still have them at my age, kicking fifty -- they're rarely useful.

I've found that for me, watching my emotions works better than living inside them.

As m stepdad used to tell me, "Remember, Darrell, they can kill you, but they can't eat you." I never really knew what he was getting at except to think that it could always be worse.

I actually don't do much  journaling. I write fiction when my moods are very dark and my emotions get a bit scary.
For me, it's an effective outlet for expressing sad/depressive thoughts, and especially angry ones...without harming anyone.

You can make whatever you want happen to a character.

Woah, remember. I don't like playing god because God's an evil, cruel, sadistic, masochistic loser. 

But.lol. 

I have a hard time writting a story without a plot.
