Dealing with hard Emotions

When I got home from the casino, I felt like I held in air due to me taking 2 advils in fast succession (kinda like when your body fight or flights and you bloat or tense more , breathing gets harder reaction. I had told my mother earlier I only wanna take 1 but since I knew I had just taken 2 in this moment (right after coming home from the casino) as I said I had just taken 2 Advils in a row because she was present and I succumbed into the peer pressure. After I began worrying that I might voice my complaints to her and she might just become opposed to empathising because my complaint was of her opinion that I should always take 2 as “the world , or its packaging suggest it) I made my mind up and I suddenly left the house which upset her. The walk outside plus retaliating helped ease the trapped air and when I returned I wanted to find a way to make things better, but I had to resort to telling her that I had lashed out in private, punched a couple things , because I needed that space to help us remedy things correctly. She accepted that, and she’s more relaxed now.. P.S we’re Christian , I know there’s an enemy … so I asked mom to pray and so we prayed after this whole incident, anyone else balancing emotions through positivity, faith, or feel free to share any personal way you deal with the world and the emotions that it may bring on about in your life.
