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?

As a veteran not very well honestly. I take deep breaths and let others know it’s not a good time to interact with me. Walks and calming music help and trying to shift my thinking to something positive and not negative.

This all has moderate success. Realistically I pace around the house with my cane playing out fictional combat scenes in my head about people I’ll never actually fight 🤣
