I read the story. Wow.
I can honestly say that directing awareness into the body will reduce the negative emotions you feel.You move into the body by directing your awareness into it. Like, right now, stop, slooooow down, become aware of your hands. Just become aware of them.
You'll find after a few moments they might start to feel warm, or you'll feel them vibrating very slightly. And your mind will quiet. Do this similarly for other parts of your body, like head, feet, toes, abdomen, chest, back, up the spine, etc. and then the whole body together. It's simple and basic stuff but hopefully will help
