Do something that can ground you. Put cold water on your face and just feel it. Take a cool shower. Identify things you see around you and also things you can hear, taste, touch. Find another distraction. Once you calm down try some deep breathing and if possible talk to someone
thank you. i slipped a little bit but it didn’t go too far and im okay. im going to drink some water and try to calm down, and then try to sleep, i appreciate your help a lot :’)
Glad you’re ok
