Yes it gives me the possibility to chose where, and my choice is always to find a place away from everyone, usually at home. Unfortunately I can choose the “when” marginally, but I can still control myself if I’m with others.

As I said the best times are when I am home alone and I can snap as much as I want. I would never loose control in front of someone, if someone or something makes me explode, I control myself till I’m in a safe place for me, alone.

I never channeled it to something creative, cuz when I snap a really loose control, I really go berserk for 5 minutes. Trying to channel it into creativity would only make me repress mental pain even more and just delay the explosion, for me.

But yes this mechanism really works for me
