I took my dog out for a walk at about 11:30pm, which helped. But then when I got back (my brother had left) and my mum rang me (drunk) saying that I was overreacting etc. So then I lost it again, by this point my dog was asleep and I was on my own with the wall.
But it did help a little. Other than that, yeah, I tend to only physically lose it when I am at home. If I was at another house or outside, I'd verbally/emotionally lose it. If my anxiety was really bad, I most likely wouldn't even say anything and I'd bottle it up until I got to a 'safe' place.
My mum was pissed about the hole in the door and the fact my phone was smashed. The way I see it, I'm glad I did that rather than self-harm (which I haven't done in 4 months). So in a way, I'm proud.
