Best advice you are gonna get. I changed my diet dramatically and started doing some moderate exercise about a year ago. I am so much more chill than I was, of course finding a new job that i don't hate helped too. lol

Things like caffeine and sugar, especially if you pop energy drinks, can create problems with metabolism and energy level that can wreck your ability to maintain a steady mood and can even bring on ADD type concentration symptoms.

No need to run out and join a gym, just go for a walk or little jog a few times a week, do a few push ups or sit ups, something just to get yourself moving a little and your mind off of whatever gets you wound up.

Do a little research, so many of the problems people have are related to poor diet and inactivity. It is an easy fix, no need to take up more than 30 mins of your day at most to plan a few healthier meals and move around a little.

Good luck
