I ground myself: 1. Acknowledge FIVE things you see around you. 2. Acknowledge FOUR things you can touch around you. 3. Acknowledge THREE things you hear. 4. Acknowledge TWO things you can smell.. 5. Acknowledge ONE thing you can taste.

I get to somewhere that feels safe. If I'm at home I'll get my weighted blanket and get on the floor. Sometimes I'll go outside if it feels like I'm trapped. An ice pack on my wrist can sometimes feel good. I start trying to resteer my inner monologue to be more rational about the situation. My therapist had me make a kit of things that can calm me down to make it easier. Smelling coffee beans, pictures of pretty food, etc. And if it happened while I was at work I would sit on the floor in the back with my head between my knees.

I read a lot, it's like lil mental vacations and I stretch, listen to guided meditations and journal a lot.
