Crying helped. Showers/baths (especially epson or CBD baths). Short walks, any kind of movement, even shaking a little helped.

I’ve overcome it mostly, but it’s a total coin flip for when and if it will hit. When it does, all I do is accept it’s there. I can’t remedy it without completely calming myself down, which I do through the box breathing method. https://quietkit.com/box-breathing/ I use to... Source: almost 4 years ago
