SakuraMatcha 777 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 What do you do in the moment, what do you tell yourself to calm down and come out of it? And if this applies, what do you do during the bout of crying and shaking, how do you get yourself to stop? Do you deal with it on your own, or do you ask for help? Also for girls, is it mostly tied to your hormones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
à travers ciel 526 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I usually just let it happen if I'm alone and have nowhere to be. If in public, at work, etc I get to a restroom stall if I can and just try to think to myself "calm down" and take the deepest breaths I can. It's not tied to my hormones but to my anxiety.

B612 22,399 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I usually scream if it's not too late or I cry myself out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
金彩媛 1,795 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I haven't figured out how to deal with that yet honestly I usually just retreat to my room or somewhere quiet and watch a movie or a TV show to keep my mind entertained for a bit until the worst thoughts go away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antares 2,166 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 When I try to calm myself down I take a deep breath and write everything I'm feeling at that moment on a paper. I don't lock those feelings inside me. This really helps me a lot. If I'm still feeling weak I will call someone to help, my mother, my older sister or some of my friends. Maybe some of my meltdowns were hormonal, since I don't think I have anxiety, but not all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli London 1,762 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 It has nothing to do with hormones. I cry, then go to sleep for a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherry yuuki 458 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 It rarely has to do with my hormones. My meltdowns tend to consist of me crying hysterically and throwing pillows at the wall, as well as a bit of desperate praying. I haven't yet learned to take control of my emotions. I can't get myself to stop crying and shaking so I just let it happen until I'm all cried out and feel slightly better. I do want to try other methods. Someone mentioned writing it down and I really want to try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiesV 2 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Lay on my back in bed with my headphones listening to any music I can relate to just trucking through life and its troubles taking breaths in as calm a manner as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nternity 2 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I always give myself a set amount of time to allow myself to be upset and cry, like 15 or 30 minutes, however long I need. Then I either force myself to go to sleep or find something to do to keep my mind occupied so I don't dwell on it too long. I like those really intricate coloring books tbh... they help me when I need something easy and non stressful to do, plus it's a creative outlet.
