Have you tried taking a really hot or really cold shower? That sometimes helps me. Or do some yoga. Or you could just message me and vent.

1.Breathe! Breathe slowly.
2. Start with your left hand by making a fist, hold it, then relax it.
Tighten your left arm by locking it straight out. Then relax it.
Do this for every part of the body. You have to concentrate on each muscle and make sure it really gets stretched and then relaxed. Don't move on to another part of the body until the one part is relaxed. Do your facial muscles too.
3. Now think of one thing...
One thing I'm thankful for?
One thing that makes me laugh?
One person I could encourage today?
One thing I need to do next....
