Cold. Hard. Mind-bending stress. I find that Nyquil in large quantities does the trick. You?

Sometimes I just lose it for a bit and go on a rampage.

Doesn't really solve anything, there might be a better way.  Those stress balls are a joke

you're not using them right.  you have to get the chi ones that make little ringing sounds.  you shake them near your ear.  it's a combination of balance and ringing out the bad vibes out of your head.  i think they're great.  the even weights make them seem like you are balancing yourself.  although, prayer is a better mental balancer, imo.   

of course, one could always go take a nap as well.

Vicodin cocktails used to do the trick for me.
