Hello,
Welcome and thank you for reaching out to us.
Being in that state is hard to deal with so I would like to give you a couple of resources that may help.
I don't know if you are aware of vagus nerve breathing activation. It is simple technique you can use anywhere and anytime you need to. Take in a very deep breath (the kind that expands your diaphragm and belly), hold the breath for a few seconds, then breathe out as slowly as you can until your lungs are empty before taking the next breath. You should notice a difference after doing this once, the more you do it, the calmer your nervous system will feel. The purpose of this exercise is to send a signal to your nervous system, via the vagus nerve, that you are safe and it can return to a regulated state.
