Here is the great thing about actually enjoying the exercise you do:

So, I had kind of a crappy day. Not because of any particular thing - people were just irrationally annoying me, as they sometimes do. (I try very hard to remember that the problem at such time is me and not them. I am irrationally annoyed. The people aren't deliberately being annoying.) And then I came home, and ate dinner, and did the dishes and was still feeling all blarg. And I thought, I will go swimming.

I had planned to go tomorrow, before work, but the minute I thought of it, it seemed like an amazing idea. So I got my stuff and I went to the pool and I swam laps for about half an hour (because that is all I can manage at this point) and chatted between laps with the nice elderly ladies I was sharing a lane with. (People at the pool are much nicer than I expected. Though, to be honest, most people are nicer than I expect, because I am a paranoid introvert who is mostly convinced that everyone hates me.)

And now I am tired and will be sore tomorrow but I am no longer annoyed at anyone. Success!

whoohoo! Glad that worked for you. When I was young and fit swimming would do that for me, too.
