Switch the library to Anger
Menty lets you switch the whole library between Anxiety and Anger content tracks. If every screen still shows anxiety copy, open settings or the track switcher and select Anger before hunting for rage-specific Tools.
How to calm down when angry often starts with one physical interrupt: longer exhale, eyes off the screen, shoulders down. Cooling breath pairs paced exhale with a visual cue so you are not counting alone while adrenaline spikes.
02
Cooling breath step by step
- Open Techniques → Anger and select cooling breath
- Sit or stand with feet planted; loosen jaw and tongue from the roof of the mouth
- Inhale through the nose for a comfortable count
- Exhale longer than you inhaled—follow the on-screen pacing
- Repeat three to five cycles before deciding whether to send the message, knock on the door, or speak
Breathing exercises for anger work best as a pause, not suppression. The goal is space to choose—not to pretend you feel fine.
If cooling breath feels too subtle, try soundscape pause: brief ambient audio that marks a boundary between trigger and response. Still not a guarantee—some days you may need to walk away entirely.
03
Energy discharge without harm
Energy discharge Techniques channel physical activation safely—shake out hands, stomp once into carpet, press palms together and release. Menty guides the sequence; you choose intensity.
Pair discharge with a Moment afterward: what happened, heat level, body sensation, impulse. Learnings help you spot patterns—Sunday evenings, certain names in notifications—without shame scripts.

What Menty does not claim
| Claim | Reality |
|---|---|

| Stops rage instantly | No — Techniques buy seconds to choose |
| Crisis line | No — call local emergency services if anyone is unsafe |
Seek professional help when anger harms relationships, work, or safety repeatedly—or when you fear hurting yourself or others.

How we tested this in Menty
On 2026-08-23 we switched to the Anger track on the Android Google Play build, ran cooling breath for three cycles, opened soundscape pause once, and logged a Moment with intensity 7→4 after a simulated work-email trigger. Starter Techniques were reachable without Premium on the test account. Morrowline Apps verified track switch, pacing UI, and freemium access on that date. Product walkthrough—not clinical research.
Drafting used editorial assistance; flows verified in-app by Morrowline Apps.

FAQ
Is cooling breath the same as box breathing?
Similar pacing idea; Anger track copy and cues target heat and impulse, not panic geometry.
Can I use Anger Techniques if I mainly have anxiety?
Yes—switch tracks anytime. Many people use both across a week.
Do anger management techniques in Menty count as therapy?
No. They are guided self-help exercises, not licensed treatment.
Next time your thumb hovers over send, run cooling breath once. Decide after the exhale—not mid-spike.
