I understand how you feel. I find that a long walk near some kind of nature helps a lot.

Something else I do when things are getting out of control:

I go lie down on my back. I take 3 deep breaths and use gentle self talk to talk myself down from what I'm stressed about.

I've been doing the positive, nurturing self talk thing most of my adult life, and it really works.
