I have no idea how viable this is for you, but when I am in trapped animal mode, I do whatever it takes to contain it (haven't thrown my god awful manger with a stapler yet!) and then put myself into timeout as soon as I get home.

Timeout is as,much for me as it is for my daughter (so i dont snap at her for no reason)... I lock myself up in my room and blast metal at full volume straight into my ears, and proceed to sing my heart out.

This can sometimes take hours though, like when I'm in the throes of an agitated bipolar episode.

I've heard running is just as effective, and works faster, but I'm not much of an exercise fan...
