It's always difficult when faced with such a combination. Writing helps. I suggest taking some time out to write down your thoughts for venting purpose. Also serves the purpose of recording all these episodes so that you can look back on these memories in future. Another way is to chat with your close friends. I find venting to girlfriends much better than to husband. Hubby tend to want to problem solve when sometimes, all you need is a listening ear. To stay calm, I will close my eyes, and take deep breaths. This is for immediate effect.. haha.. sometimes I will even tell myself (out loud) to "stay calm" or "calm down". Sounds kind of lame, but works quite well for me. :)
