Honestly more of a question of dealing with emotions. Emotions aren’t something that you should be directly regulating, because that can way too easily turn into suppressing emotions. I’ve seen entirely way too many people think they’re controlling their emotions when they’re actually suppressing them (it’s happened to me too to be honest). Thing is, when you suppress your emotions, they’re still there, and they can suddenly pop back up and hit you in the face, which is often what happens when you get a bout of uncontrollable anger for a reason that seems benign in comparison.
That’s the problem: dealing with difficult emotions is, well, difficult. But that’s also the thing with long term solutions: they’re usually the more difficult ones short term.
