Yeah, My wife always tells me to play guitar or bass when I get stressed, So I don't hurt myself (boxer fractures again) or get the cops called again for making too much noise yelling and beating on my heavy bag. (I figured out that taking the padding out of it, and replacing it with sand makes it a lot quiter... But mannn it'll hurt you if you don't do something right). There are only a few things that'll alleviate heavy stress, And beating the crap out of something that weighs a little less than I do is one of them.Doesn't sound weird at all, you would have been frustrated, angry, upset, etc, and sometimes physically beating the shit out of something whilst swearing loudly and profusely is a better way to release stress than any form of counselling, therapy or pharmaceuticals.
I have to admit that not being able to knock seven shades out of something with a hammer any more has had an impact (no pun intended) on how I handle stress as you can take so much out of you with some mindless violence against an inanimate object.
