I try to give myself productive tasks to do around the house or back yard. I also try to do some meditation and deep measured breathing. A nice long shower helps, too. I listen to mental health podcasts or music and that usually settles me down. Today I'm going to ride our bike for a bit, then watch a movie after I take my daughter to work. Hope I can stay still for it lol. Key thing for me is being aware of what's going on and possibly tracking down triggers.
Hope all is well, fern46! Thanks!
