Write it all down in that journal I suggested you get.

Take a bunch of slow, deep breaths. Then grab a pad of paper and start writing everything that’s on your mind. Don’t stop until you think you’re done. Then look at that writing and organize it into a list, t-table, novel, etc, doesn’t matter. Go from there.

Deep breathing, put on some mellow tunes, and try meditating.

Music, man. Put on a favorite album, close your eyes, turn it up and clear your mind.

Whenever I’m down, I just remember what a filthy casual Scoob is, and then I feel better.

Going crazy is fun as shit dude. I did it about a year and a half ago. The trick is being self-aware enough to recognize your own insanity and appreciate the hilarity of your own self-destruction. It's all very enlightening if you do it right, except with a lot of laying in bed by yourself laughing hysterically.

I find that destroying things is quite fun when you’re frustrated. Try:

Bending an Altoid tin

Smashing a white-out dispenser with a hammer

Stepping on a water bottle

Bending pencils

My buds and I tore out the tile in my side room using sledge hammers and beer. That was a nice release. Not sure I it would help if you're in an actual mental crisis though.

Get a propane tank, start a small campfire next to it, then shoot it with a high-powered rifle. Creating mushroom clouds is wonderful catharsis.

Well, huh. If writing it down reminds you of “it” and then you spool back up, I’m sorry to say, you prolly got some triggers. Could talk to you all day about how it’s not helping, can’t change what you can’t change, etc. but that’s all bullshit - the triggers rule. They’re just situations/experiences that “trigger” an emotional/judgmental response, usually based in some past thing/situation/etc.

The only way I’ve found to rout those out is taking time to peel them back (like meditation but only on one thing, not all the things) and then having anchors (friends or people that you feel you could trust with your life that might have a different perspective from yourself, not an echo chamber) where you explain the data (the situation as if someone else was looking at it while you were looking at it) and then telling them how you feel about it. Then *listen* to what they say back, because odds are, they aren’t gonna have the same trigger on it. Then integrate that. Rinse, repeat as needed. You’ll find it takes that trigger “sensitivity” away to talk about in these terms.

Or just hit something like the Mankind Project weekend or one of the other reasonable places that don’t want to brainwash you, but just want you to see what you’re doing to yourself. (Or find a Mankind I-Group in your area.. they have processes for this exact shit. Useful.)
