Not as well as I'd like...I'm going through an episode now and I'm having a hard time functioning. My last visit to my t was mostly me staring out the window and trying not to cry and then sobbing hysterically in my car after I left.
Sometimes I try to find what I call "little kid stuff" to do to help make myself feel a little better. Like making a million calorie hot fudge sundae with crazy toppings (I have a serious sweet tooth). Or rolling around on the grass with my dog. Or coloring. I dunno - maybe it reminds me of a simpler time when I felt safer.
