I should be asleep but can't due to being in a high adrenaline situation (escalated roadrage, not fighting) couple hours ago. Was my first time in such situation so any tips for dealing with high adrenaline situations afterwards?

Adrenaline dumps can be pretty jarring.

Personally, I have a drink, vape or eat some CBD, take a shower or even a bath afterwards. I'm a fan of epsom salt baths because they seem to help with soreness and some come with nice smells too. Might seem a little girly to some but anybody who judges someone for taking a nice bath is someone who has an opinion I don't care about lol.

If you can go for a walk or a bike ride that might help too, but not everything works for everyone: You might need to figure out what works for you. Meditation can help as well, but sometimes you just need some time to process things. Might have some fucky dreams for a bit too.

P.S. Relying on alcohol is a bad idea and I'm not a role model, probably skip the drink.

Does the alcohol do anything for you that the CBD does not?

Yeah, gets me buzzed lol
