I journal a lot. So I journal on the topic however long I need to - days, weeks whatever. When I feel like I expressed everything I go back and review my writings and create some kind of diagram. Then I analyze it and find patterns and relationships and conflicts etc, and then I figure out what my unmet need is/ I usually write it out somewhere and start trying to achieve it. I also practice self care in the interim - decrease my responsibilities, journal lol, talk to people about it, do things that give me flow, make sure I get enough sleep, eat well, exercise.

Go to bed and sleep. Always resets me.

Just push through the moment and eait for it to pass. Luckily nothing is permanent, so it will always pass. Just gotta push through it, step by step, minute by minute.

• shut down all my senses by closing my eyes and lying down for at least 10min like i'm in some sort of isolation tank. it's super under-stimulating tho so depending on what overwhelmed me it won't work
• shower, warm then cold. i like the transition / ritual, it's simpler than a workout and almost just as effective
• try to solve someone else's problem (if they're okay with it) to regain some sense of control
• watch what sb else is doing to regain perspective, especially kids, dogs, birds doing their thing. sometimes i just look out the window, my view is interesting

Sensory deprivation. Dark, quiet room. Sometimes a body temperature bath in the dark.

I leave.
