How do you calm yourself down?

It depends on the reason why I’m not calm, but deep breathing, distraction, or focusing on something (for me, the seconds display on my digital clock) seems to help in general.

Meditation. Hands down but I'm still practicing

If I'm overwhelmed or tired - A nap and or anxiety meds.

If I'm restless -DIY projects, social media, online karaoke, phone games or watching a movie /show or go for a walk or bike ride.

If I'm feeling like the house is a mess -Organize /clean /declutter

If I feel horny - I tell my partner I need his penis inside me NOW

If I'm sad - I vent to a friend, I listen to music.

If I don't know what to do but haven't showered I shower. Eat. Drink coffee. Do the basics and go from there.

I listen to music usually

It's difficult.
More than often I will drink.

Smoke a big bowl!!!

Metal music! Fast and loud!!

Meditation

I often will lie in my darkened bedroom and try to shut out as much sensory input as possible if I have overload.

Music and singing. Walking helps to clear the mind to. Hope you're ok?

Martial Arts work out, controlled breathing exercises

whiskey make me calm

Music, a drink, maybe a little THC.

Exercise or playing with mu dog

Yo mama

Lorazepam twice a day, my anxiety over my terminal cardiopulmonary diease has gotten to the point where incense and meditation while listening to ambient sounds no longer works.
