Maybe try running cool water over your wrists and splashing some on your face to help get you out of your head.😁

Don't focus on what you can't do, focus on what you can do. And understand that adrenaline can numb your senses. Strong emotions can make you skip drinking water or eating enough. So grab a snack, go for a walk, get some water, listen to your favorite music

I love my mindful techniques I’ve learned. One of my favorites is to just notice what’s around and say it in your head. Like “2 brown doors 2 white windows 1 brown mirror”

ive tried that technique and sadly its doesn't work for me. I usually call someone and talk it out but i always cant rely on doing that.

Do you happen to live in a state where it is legal recreationally or even medicinally? I also have a Xanax prescription but it makes me very tired so not exactly ideal if you're operating heavy machinery.

Yes its legal here but we have to treat it like alcohol. Not in public and not while driving. Even vape shops here carry thc pens and edibles now.

I personally smoke weed and meditate or put on a meditation podcast that will walk me through calming down. Hope this is helpful

Ive been thinking about the weed route but i work at the shipyard and if i get sent to the clinic for any type of injury then its an automatic drug test. To be honest though I'd risk it because having no way to calm sucks.
