I know what you mean about the rage, I've blacked out during anger spells before, I didn't believe people when they said what I did either. Still don't believe it, because I don't want to believe I could be that violent.
I ate a bunch of food earlier to boost dopamine and exercised now I'm feeling like like a motor mouth  for anxiety I find that practicing meditation every day helps reduce it. When I start slacking  on meditation my anxiety gets high again as a result, I especially like mindfulness meditation, it also increases my focus and allows me to relax. It allows me to stay grounded in the present and not be so preoccupied with the future and past. When I'm grounded I can take life as it comes, one moment at a time.

I tried meditation in the past but I could never get into it. I am probably in a better place to try it again. Where would you recommend a beginner start?
