Sorry to hear that. There are many of us and sometimes someone will be out and having a bad experience. When I use the ice it enables one of the protectors to step in and calm everyone down. I don't have an original so we all take care of each other. Sometimes when some one is out and having a bad experience while out, they can not step aside to let someone help them. Using the ice sort of enables us to focus so someone who is calm can come out. Sometimes when something bad happens at home I don't remember grounding, I just get stuck in anxiety and fear. Than one of us will say get ice. We don't always know why we are getting ice but we do and the next thing I know we are feeling better and who ever was having a bad time is back in and safe. I am sorry it made you feel depressed. I hope you feel ok now.
