DO THE MEDITATION THING! @jaxblade has the right idea- if nothing else meditation gives a few moments to face and come to terms with your present self. There are no sudden miracles, but there is some comfort you can find for yourself over time. :)

MEDITATION 

But for me personally. I do kind of a zen focused Meditation for 20 minutes everyday in the morning. I started doing it a lot after I got into an arguement and hurt and lost a close friend of mine because I was just so depressed and angry for weeks. 

My mind became an inner cesspool of stress, anxiety, anger, sadness from an amalgamation of issues but I started doing Meditation seriously at first you think“this is some BS why the hell are Characters always doing it when training” But it only takes a few days to really notice the effects. 

I feel I have much better control over my emotions.
I’m more productive,
MY Temper is more controlled so i dont snap
I dont procrastinate as much as I used to,
I’m a lot more focused on my goals
and Also I feel more relaxed. 

The goal of meditation isnt to control your thoughts but let them stop controlling you in a negative way.

Okay so this is How I do it.
I either sit cross-legged on the floor or in a comfortable chair. Back straight, head up relaxed. Though I do like sitting like the Avatar to be honest

Then I close my eyes and I focus on my breath and nothing else. Now this is harder than it sounds cause your mind f*cks with you and some thoughts come and go and your mind is constantly a flutter but If i slip up and my mind starts to wander I just my attention back to the breath and breathe in 3 and breathe out. Now when first starting off this seems bogus but you have to stick with it and then you enter this peaceful tranquil state and then you dont even notice the time go by its just like you’re in another plain and everything becomes clear.

and then I just open my eyes and get on with my day and after daily practice I feel A HELL OF A LOT BETTER like My God it helps me stay productive with my Online Personal training business and all my other goals. hope this helps also try some youtube videos they give you tips for it as well.

If you  are like most people, you will find that distraction arise nearly instantly. Once you recognize that you have left the meditation and are distracted by a train of thought, you should simply return to the breath without chastising or criticizing yourself. In fact you should have no expectation whatsoever about how well your meditation goes. Lust of result is the biggest obstacle to meditation. Recognize that thoughts emanate from nothing and dissipate into nothing. Rest in the breath and in primordial awareness.

In all likelihood you will, at first, spend most of your meditation session doing little but being distracted, recognizing it, and returning to the breath only to be distracted again. Many of my students that find themselves in this situation claim that they can’t meditate and give up. What they don’t realize is that they ARE meditating. They are training their minds to recognize when it is not acting according to their will, and bringing it back from distraction.

Anon since you just messaged me about Anger Im rebloggin this so it can help you with the anxiety!

If you find if hard to focus solely on your breathing, though, there are some good guided meditation apps like Stop Think Breath and Headspace that can help you to focus on an idea while meditating, or just talk you through a breathing-focused meditation. I find this to be a lot easier for me than doing an unguided one on my own!

exactly!
