I understand. I hope you're able to find some activities to help settle that high energy sadness. I can relate to that feeling but the things that work for me when I'm in that state tend to be the opposite to high activity and mental focus: eg. practicing mindfulness, taking myself for a slow walk in nature, proverbially touching grass.

A few people have suggested drumming, which I'd also recommend.

Have you ever been dancing? One of my biggest pressure relief mechanisms is going to a music venue and just... dancing to bands or a DJ. It brings me back into my body, it's a great physical workout, and it also keeps me mentally engaged.

I understand this isn't something you can do immediately if you're feeling frustrated, but I feel it can help with longer-term benefits towards emotional regulation.

They don't care about your feelings.

 

Redux Records do great covers albums where they get a plethora of great noise/doom/stoner/sludge bands to cover classic albums, and they've just announced the next one in their series will be The Downward Spiral. There will also be a companion Best of Nine Inch Nails (Redux) album alongside it.

I can't wait for this to come out.
