Dealing with Uncontrollable Crying and Intrusive Thoughts

I let myself feel whatever I'm feeling. Tell myself I am safe and that it's okay to sit with my feelings for a while. I can't control the thoughts, but I do t let them control me. I don't make any decisions and I don't take any actions. I remind myself that anything important can wait until I'm in a calmer state and then I try to sleep or do something calming like watch videos or play games on my phone.
