When something upsets you, give it a day. Let the problem stew in your head while you are awake and let it waddle about the unconscious while you are sleeping. What you get 24 hours later is the sort of clarity you could never have gotten otherwise.
When emotions are raw, we feel that burning desire to do something. Don’t. Take time off. The bigger the problem, take longer time away from action.
In the process, also remember to visit the reason for these emotions. Raw emotions are caused either by a perceived attack on insecurities or a feeling of being unfairly treated. For the former, you might need much longer to deal with it as there are no quick fixes and the fix lies within yourself.
In both cases, giving it a day can only help.
