When you're pissed off/upset/disgusted with your homelife, what do you do to avoid going home?

I punched a brick wall, and broke my wrist. I got a five month stay in a mental hospital.

When I was younger, I would go to the bar. My local bartender always had a kind word for me and welcomed me with open arms.

I probably can count doing something like this on one hand. It’s so rare I feel this way. I would go to the pool or beach most likely. Assuming weather permits. Another possibility is dropping in on a girlfriend.

I can’t help but wonder if men do this more than women.

Sometimes my parents and I get into conflicts. Often I just slam the door in my room and stay inside. But there was that day when we were too pissed off by each other that I only wanted to get out of the house for some time. The days earlier my friends and I successfully did a project at school and had promised to throw a big party. I used it as an excuse for leaving home. That day we partied all day and night. And I told my friends everything about the conflict. They comforted my while trying to explain that my parents only did that out of their love for me, though they agreed to keep me out of the house for a while until the heat cool off.

Keep driving aimlessly. If it was daytime I may park in a cemetery and just chill. Or go shopping.

Just moved out of the dorms. Before that I was living with a guy with anger issues who handled problems exclusively with passive aggression, and who listened to precisely two playlists on loop loudly nonstop, singing along. These playlists were Disney music and terrible pop music.

I stay at my boyfriend’s place A LOT.

I go and wander around the mall. Maybe pick up something nice for myself. Or go see a movie I wanted to see with a family member alone.

Loooong walks preferably in parks or wooded areas or round town is okay too. Chill out sitting on a bench.

I also go on walks, or I go to an empty park or elementary school. Before my rib injury, I used to sit on roofs, and had, occasionally, climbed a water tower to just sit there and look out at everything.

I’d probably either walk to the woods, or go drop in on my mum/grandma/sister.

Thanks, all.
I tend to do as @anniereborn and drive, or shop, like @Pandora. I may try the movie thing, too.

I think if I were pissed off enough on many occasions, I’d start looking at what pissed me off and why, and maybe something needs to be done about it.

I would say going for walks or drives helps me with this. Sometimes just appreciating nature and the world around me helps me to feel happy and look at situations more clearly.

I build shit. Keeping my mind preoccupied is my best escape.

I drive in the mountains and rock out to my music! Or I go for a walk!
