I take powerful drugs that alter the neurochemical balance in my brain.

I talk to my wife or sister about whatever it is that's causing me problems, not to try to arrive at a particular solution, but because talking about it helps me let it out so that I'm no longer keeping it bottled up inside where it can do me harm.

I make note of the event and my reaction to it in my journal, which can serve the same purpose as talking about it with a person I trust.

I go through a mental checklist when I have the opportunity to help me understand why I reacted the way I did or felt the way and did and to retrain my automatic responses to be more healthy.

Meditation, listening to calming music, cleaning, and exercise all have been known to help on occasion.
