Stress relieve
Here the past few year I have noticed me getting more impatient, stressed and short tempered with a lot of people. And its not just people its messing with some things as well. The best way I have found to relieve a little stress is to jump in my truck of suv hit the country road and just haul ass. Bad thing is if I get too aggravated cause of someone holding me up or doing something stupid to hold everybody up I might black out. Well in July and August I really felt myself getting more stressed and impatient and also had a weird feeling that I was going to have a wreck if I don't find an alternate way to relieve my stress. Sure enough in August I was heading to work got behind a car going 10 to 15 under the speed limit got pissed off, blacked out and boom wrecked the trailblazer I had just got in June. I didn't have collision on it so of course had to pay out of pocket. Here recently I have noticed I am getting more and more of an attitude at work just cause I am getting aggravated there. I been trying to figure out something else to do to relieve some stress but have no idea on what to do. Especially me being the home body type. I don't smoke or drink to top all that off. So I was wondering if anybody might have any ideas on something hands on I might can try doing at home to calm myself down before I end up in another situation like I was in earlier this year?

Stress can be a major contributor to a lot of problems in life, both mentally as well as physically.
First off, I applaud you for not being the type who tries to drink away the stress or pain, in the end, that never really works anyway.'It just takes some people longer than others to figure that out.
There are lots of things you can do at home that can help. I highly recommend trying meditation. You can learn how to do it with a quick Google search or even YouTube tutorials. It's easy and scientifically proven to reduce stress.
Along the same lines, you may want to give Yoga a shot.
And even taking some time out to listen to some soothing music can make a big difference.
While this one does involve leaving the home, a great option is to find a good massage therapist and book a session once in a while. It's fantastic for body, mind and soul.
A nice walk can really help clear the mind too.
Last but not least, if you're the creative type, maybe you can channel any pent up frustration into some form of art. It could be something as simple as writing a poem or song lyrics, drawing or woodworking.
Good luck and let relaxation come to you.

I agree with adviceman, it would be good to see a doctor. Stress can cause it but there can be other factors like some medical issues underlying it, and the stress is like the one straw that broke the camels back so to speak. Blackout, or fainting can also be considered Syncope.Blackouts (not alcoholic blackouts) occur when not enough blood reaches the brain or when there are electrical disturbances in the brain.
Stress is a major factor. Dizziness and blackouts can occur when you feel shock, fear, grief, loss, pain, rage, or other emotional distress.
You could also have low blood pressure, dehydration, anemia, hypothyroidism (slow thyroid), ear infection, vitamin D deficiency, or other chemical and nutritional imbalances, etc.
Please go see your Dr.

There may be a physical reason you are blacking out and stress is just the trigger. You should really see your doctor to see if there is something besides the stress as stress alone should not cause blackouts.
I would suggest a complete physical by your family doctor. a neurological work up by a neurosurgeon to rule out a brain tumor. Then seeking the help of a psychologist to help with stress relief is nothing physical is found to be wrong.
A healthy sex life is a good stress reliever though this requires a willing partner. Exercise as in running, jogging or joining a Gym and working out regularly is also a good way to relieve stress. My wife's company has a small gym as well as a small locker and shower room for those that want to workout before or after work or during their lunch hour. Does your company offer this. IF not you might suggest it if you or company is a high stress environment.
Then there are things such as hunting, fishing camping, hiking, cooking, baking almost anything that is relaxing and takes you mind off what is causing you stress. My dad use to remodel the house when he was stressed out. My sister and I use to tease that when mom would take us out for the day a new window or wall would show up when we returned. One weekend mom took us to my grandparents and when we returned there was a whole new kitchen. Everyone has their own way of relaxing.
Before you find the relaxation that works for you please see your doctor and have a complete physical including an MRI or CT scan of your head to rule out any tumor.
