It helps to ration information and step away for a while. Reading news updates all day will surely make one go insane. Checking in on current events only once every 2 days makes a phenomenal difference. Also staying physically active away from all electronic devices. Then work on recognizing anger right when it starts so you can stop it short and change the behavior.
Another great tool is EMDR. If you can find a guided EMDR video or app you will absolutely witness your anxiety reducing as you go through it. Even 10-minutes. I haven't had a single 10-minute EMDR session that didn't result in anxiety reduction. Sometimes I do it twice, but every time it works. I'm sure if more people knew about EMDR, anti-depressant sales would reduce.
