How to calm down when overwhelmed?

Spending time whit pets.
Or go somewhere in nature and trying to clear your mind.

 

People can post a long laundry list but then there's the question of what will work best for you. It may be better to look up stress management online, unless you're talking about when stress makes you feel like PMO though it may not be that different.

I think different things work on different levels, and it may be worth it to do more than one thing. Just a random example is I did some deep stretching the other night, holding each for like a few minutes which is prescribed to me by a physical therapist, lo and behold the weird feeling in one part of my spine that was making me wake up at night went away.

Another example would be exercise, but obviously cardio is very different from strength training - and there again you may want or even need to do some stretching along with that, which also depends on how long or how hard you work out. And did you already have muscular tension? Without any of these specifics you won't have a strategy. You may have ideas/tools but how to use them is another story.

 

Just say fuck this shit
