The kind of SH you tend towards is not something I struggle with at all, so forgive me if this is not helpful...
Can you get outside for a good walk? Get yourself away from your particular temptation? It seems like being agitated and nearby to trouble would be a bad combo. Kind of a pressure cooker, ya? So getting out from that might be helpful. I don't know what sort of walk you'd find most helpful -- a brisk one or a mellower one full of mindfulness, like looking at trees and flowers and maybe even interesting buildings. Hopefully shifting from your current focus. Also expending that sort of (negative/exasperating) energy agitation brings.
I hope you feel better soon.
