Sometimes doing something physical like yoga or walking helps.
2; I avoid mirrors when I am like this. I use other grounding techniques like rubbing ice on my arm, strong peppermint, looking around the room for things of a particular color.
3. Sounding like someone else does not really alarm me. You will hear people say things like "I sound just like my mother", and I often notice how teenagers will adopt expressions from their peers or others. So I think this is probably a fairly usual thing to experience.
4. I have not had that happen.

I love the idea of using smells like peppermint! I never though of doing that. I have a great sense of smell so carrying around an essential oil bottle would be great! I love sniffing things xD Thank-you for your great input
