Well, keep sight of the fact that it will pass soon. If you have had other swings recently, for example, it will probably be similar in duration. Then find out if you can sit through a video, or a tv program. Can you read a book? Is there a pasive activity you can zone out in? Or maybe its down to drinking herbal tea and staying in bed. Be willing to care for yourself as if you had a bad case of the flu. You are certainly as genuinely incapacitated as you would be with the flu.

If you are still "waxing" symptom wise, I mean if your swings are still unfamiliar, be sure to keep track of their frequency and duration, and type. You're always going to cycle, but you get better at finding your balance with them. Knowing they pass remains my main coping thought in the worst of it. Good luck and tc.
