My day was fucking awful. It almost caused a panic attack in me. And the thing is the mess going on at my workplace is spreading out to the next few days and I'm stuck dealing with it for 9 hours tomorrow. AGH!!
Usually when I have a stressful and harsh day at work (almost every day), I relieve the stress by doing a serie of things:
1 ) set my mind with this thought: I did whatever possible to do all my work done well and clear, I did all in my possibilities so I can’t complain with myself;
2 ) I prepare a dinner with things I like more to eat, maybe also cutting a piece of a particular cheese (I’m a cheese lover), a fresh likeable fruit, or a special meal;
3 ) after dinner, I wash dishes and clean all, then I get a walk in countryside or in neighbourhood in open spaces (a garden, a walkway, a walk along the river) before sunset so I can watch the sky changing colour and the mountains at the horizon, very relaxing. This with some music in my ears, something I like (I usually listen some jazz or classical music, I find them very calming);
4 ) if I’m particularly upset or stressed, I call a friend and make a little chat with them so I can definitely distract myself;
5 ) when I return home I get a relaxing shower and then go to sleep early, in order to get a good rest and not be too tired next morning.
I tend to simply not take abuse. I speak my mind, remove myself from hellish situations and fight fiercely to be given respect, else I take it by force (I'm good at lawyerball).
If your job is making you feel toxic often you should consider looking for something more chill that makes you feel good at the end of the day.
u Run. Cry. Sit in silence. Individually or in combination with each other. Sometimes they work great, other times they don't work at all.
I have had some very, very bad days at work over the last 2 years. I've found myself running until my legs are jello. I've cried in my car in the parking lot, on my drive home, outside my apartment, in the bathroom at work, at home.
As much as I tried to detach work from my home life, it is hard. But the longer I have been at my job, the easier it has gotten, even though some days just really suck still.
Find what works best for you. Something that makes you happy. Something that just helps you get all the anger or sadness out at once. Whatever it is, just stay away from the alcohol and drugs. I've had a coworker lose a lot to alcohol.
I talk to a trusted friend or I move my body to get outnof my head. Cycle, yoga, walking. O and Metal Music helps too. Haha

Because Casual Fridays did not require my wearing a suit, I'd ride my motorcycle to work on Fridays. A ride home along the beach and then cutting inland and riding through the canyon, followed by a stop for a beer (or two) before riding home cured most workplace evils.
It can be really hard, but try not to bring it home with you (something I've never been good at either). Try to focus on other things at home that you enjoy and make you happy. Worry about it tomorrow. I also personally find that sometimes it doesn't end up as bad as I think it'll be in my head.
u my cats are the best... and they're right here at my home office, lol
I remember when you were struggling to find work, it's good you got something, even when you have tough days, I drink a beer, and have a shower, often sleep for a few hours.
Each day after work I have a full ''happy hour'' with my two dog buddies.
During a work day: shit is simply GOING to happen; I counter it with sarcasm or a good dose of humour.
I hop on Netflix and watch Metal Lords. Works everytime and gets rid of my bad mood
I listen to upbeat music, paint, watch a good movie or fantasise about the younger version of my favourite celebrity.
Relax. Watch a comedy movie or funny videos.
i play video games or shop on ebay or mercari after a bad day
Long shower, followed by some funny YouTube vids.
Hot shower, Gym, Sauna, and sleep
Listen to music or masturbate
Have a drink when you get home.
I think of the future
I get on with my Hobbies only
Getting bjs
