I know the feeling brother. Does reading or watching TV help?

I feel that so often. When I start to feel overwhelmed I either go for a long fast walk to try to clear the yaya’s. Or
I write. I put it all down on paper. Who I am mad at, why, what I want to do as a result and then if not utterly exhausted after that I write about what I should do.
Consider it like a release valve. But I do like Joshua’s idea. Find a new series binge watch. Sometimes when you’re just starting out (which I’ve done a few times!) it’s easier to just lose yourself in TV. Hang in there. You’re not alone.

Gym, even a walk. Get outside. Sometimes taking a shower, screaming, crying, push-ups..

I appreciate all your kind words soo dammn much. Thank you all !
I hear you, find an hobby. If you feel anger and raged very often, try to google a rage room. There is one where I live, it's a room where you can brake glasses and a many other stuff. It was helpful when I got full of rage.

Also, I found very helpful to write down the moments when I feel rage, like a story. Then read it again and again, it really helped me to realize what happened from another angle.

It's not always an option but for me walking in nature by myself always a fix
Walk until you are tired then walk double that
Try to be aware of the subtle beauty that surrounds you
Justin, working the 12 steps with a sponsor really helped me.
I was a dangerously angry guy and was incarcerated many times. I went through anger management as a condition of my parole.
The 12 steps several times dissolved my anger and fear.
I’ll friend request you now. We can talk if you want.

Journaling helps because once we sober up and read what we could send in a text etc.
then we can reflect and choose and better outcome then just venting and sounding like an asshole.
