Rage and anger

    Need a little help on this one, am placid strong person who experienced devestating breakup last year. I see now that the split was definately for the best and am now pretty happy and content, but here's the thing, just when I think I should be coming out the other end I have started experiencing bouts of intense rage and anger internally when I think about or have anything to do with ex...
    This I thinks is more to do with ex's behavoiur since the split and the level of control and impact ex still has on our lives, (me and kids). This is obviously stressing me out more than I had realised. My job has also been pretty stressful for the last 6 moths so that prob hasn't helped either.
    Am at the point where I am contemplating taking up boxing/boxercise to try and channel some of this emotion (also really need to get fit too so want to make it a positive thing) and to cap it all off, today I visited my hair dresser recently they commented on some hair loss which seems indicitive of stress??? WTF!!!
    Any advice on how to deal with this?. I know I prob internalise a bit too much but really am generally fine. Am in no way violent, all this anger is inside but need a mechanisim to deal with it before has any other negative effects on my wellbeing....
    If you knew me you'd never guess..... Am not into meditation, tbh quiet time tends to make me overthink things. Any tips or suggestions, has anyone else experienced this, does it last long???
    Any help guys/gals???
    Thanks

    Physical activity can do the trick. Long jogs/cycle rides are good. I don't know enough about boxing. I suppose it would either help expel your anger, or at worst enhance it. personally i don't think training to throw punches is a wise move.

    another option to consider are videogames which can be a good distraction if you only need to stop yourself from dwelling on things. The games forums can help you there.
