Talking to a therapist helps me.

My doctor and I have discovered that I need music to identify emotions and process those as well as entire social scenarios. Aside from that, I take breaks until I can calmly converse about the situation at hand. It's not my fault that my processing is slow and my emotions run high sometimes, but I can do a few things to take care of myself and attempt avoiding hurting others unnecessarily.

Music and singing loudly is what I do when I'm anxious, upset or angry. There's a genre or a song for every mood. š

I try my best but sometimes it turns into a small accidental outburst, sometimes I can't get it under even a little bit of control
tbh sometimes itās best to excuse yourself and take some time to yourself to process your thoughts, then decide if you want to express them outwardly
I like to go for walks and listen to music while I do. Walking calms me down physically, and the music calms me down mentally. I also try to ask myself what my anger is trying to tell me. Sometimes it's telling me that I feel like the person I'm talking to isn't listening, or that they don't care about me. Sometimes it's telling me that I'm overwhelmed and need to take a break. Learning to interpret my anger has allowed me to express it in a healthier way. I don't want to say that I control it, because I was taught that controlling your anger was suppressing it and not letting yourself feel angry.
