  • The box method of breathing for several minutes helps me in immediate situations. And I’ve found doing this on a regular basis helps it become a habit which in general helps me deal with emotions better.

    As someone else posted, medication. If your psychiatrist thinks it is warranted.

    Therapy can be a godsend. Don’t be afraid to hop therapists at the beginning either—find a good match.

    And something that helps me immensely: I use this as a mantra: “I will not always feel like this. Tomorrow I will not feel like this. This will pass.” Treat these strong emotions as a wave you need to ride. But that wave will eventually subside and you cam comfort yourself with that fact.
