I'm glad you had some way of "calming" down at least a bit. Other things that may help in future are simply excusing yourself as you did and doing a bit of diaphragm breathing, perhaps imagining yourself in a more relaxing or better atmosphere even while there with them, counting backwards in your head from 100 til you feel yourself relax....those are a few "public" ways of relaxing without music and such that I can think of... another simple trick... bring a cloth you have dabbed with lavender essential oil and keep it with you when you get tense, bring it within smelling distance
Thanks for this!
