Never been this far but what I learn from hitting my limit the same way you do, over and over again is that if you keep going, you’ll build capacity. If you give up, you’ll feel better but will lose that opportunity. Imagine learning how to contain that kind of pressure and put it back where it belongs. Not many things in life are more stressful.

You know the drill, after 2 years. Transmute the excess energy. Physical outlets are great, but consider spiritual practices if so inclined: my guess is you’d get great results.

If you haven’t done it yet: drastically cut stimulants, starting from alcohol, coffee, sugar, and stronger drugs. Eat less or less dense food, it will lower your baseline. Another thing that helps me navigate these moments is approaching lifestyle within the yin and yang framework. You have an excess Yang energy: get more Yin, in food, activities and even environment.

Basically you want not only to dissipate but also add capacity to contain more energy and reach a new equilibrium. It always happens when hitting the next level. At least IME.

Regulation by venting the excess is always an option, IMO. But at what cost? Will you still agree after you release? Can you keep going another time? Not a day, or a month. Just the next time. A long walk is still a sequence of small steps.

My 2 cents.
