I was just about to suggest meditation. I haven't found it easy to master, and I can't say that I've mastered it at all; but lately I've been on a mood roller coaster, and the techniques that I've learned in meditation really do help me feel less out there with my emotions.
Not controlling my emotions, or stuffing them down, but more calm overall.There are so many ways to meditate. Even just taking a few minutes and taking a good look at what is immediately around you - the room you are in, or the weather outside, or the smells and sounds surrounding you - can help ground you and take that edge off the rawness of our emotions. This is hard for me to do when I'm in the midst of such strong feelings like anxiety or anger or even fear, but it always helps, even if just a bit.
