Answer 1

I agree with bbitf.  It's really a natural reaction, but scary.  It will wear off as the adrenaline level subsides.  But you don't need a punching bag, a pillow will work, and not hurt your hands...  In situations like this (it happens to everybody sooner or later), I try to train my brain to refocus.  Push the bad thoughts out and search for good things about myself (it's not easy sometimes but gets easier with a little practice).

Good luck, I'm sure you'll feel better soon.

Answer 2

To me it seems like a hefty dose of frustration mixed with rage... and probably also testosterone filling any gaps. I'd say you have a bit of adrenaline from the whole thing which is making you need to go fast - is this the first time you've felt this way?

The back ache may have been from posture during the bike ride; or from unknowingly contracting your back muscles for long periods of time due to the tension.

The feelings you have/had aren't the end of the World, and aren't permanent.

If you're looking for a solution to it, I found something to divert my attention - took a shower and some calming breaths, then went to play guitar for a long long time. OR you could kick the c**p out of a punch bag if you have one.
