Running, lifting weights (won't necessarily make you look like a freak), bungee jumping (I did this one once, it made me feel MUCH calmer )? If you're scared of loud noises and heights I can recommend trying to find one of those metal bridges that go over highways and looking down through the bars. Anything frightening, really. That mellows me out a little. Other than that, walking in the forest or going up a mountain can be very soothing.

Good luck with it!

Yes! And, loud music. Loud, rhythmical music.
