Make a list of what could be helpful when you are overwhelmed. Prepare to post in PC or journal etc Think of people you can text or call if you need it.

depends on what works for you normally.

PS going from bike ride to a concert might be too much. Make your ride short. Like 30 minutes. So you have more time in between
Yeah, I did decide to go on my bike ride, but I only rode an hour on the trail instead of the whole trail, which would have been two hours, so I had enough time to come home, decompress, fix lunch, and get to the concert.

Yeah, I need to stay focused on what the purpose of the trip is and not let other stressors get my attention. With the trip to the mansion last week, it was that damn photographer and then being around too many people. I have to figure out how I'm going to handle all that. I need to sit down and write out the plan and the options.
