I should be asleep but can't due to being in a high adrenaline situation (escalated roadrage, not fighting) couple hours ago. Was my first time in such situation so any tips for dealing with high adrenaline situations afterwards?

Box breathing can help. Inhale slowly for four seconds. Hold for four seconds. Exhale slowly for four seconds. Hold for four seconds. Repeat the cycle a few times.

Interestingly, I really did take this to heart after playing that game. I’ve modified it to 3 seconds for myself, but when I’ve been extra anxious and/or feeling a panic attack coming it’s helped tremendously.
