Good stress management. Took care of myself. Even when I found I could not contact my therapist's office, because it was Saturday, and furthermore it's Labor Day weekend and I can't get therapy until the appointment I already had on Tuesday, I didn't freak out. Called the crisis management line, talked it over, and decided on a plan of action. Left the house and rode around with my husband for a while (he's a bus driver for our city.) It didn't exactly offer the *complete* peace and quiet I needed, since it seemed every screaming kid in town rode HIS bus that day, besides one obnoxious drunk, but it was better than being alone with possibly escalating thoughts.
