2. Agree with advice to breathe...

Most people actually do forget to breathe regularly when under stress. A few deep breaths, in through the nose, fill your lungs entirely, then slowly out through your mouth in a controlled exhale...repeat about 7-8 times.

It also helps to remember that 100 years from now, absolutely no one alive is going to care at all, about anything happening today (well...with the exception of the total lack of action on climate change, bit thats going on all of our heads, not you individually)!!!

In al seriousness though, taking those deep breaths and centering yourself on your priorities is a very good way to handle things and if nothing else, it usually makes me feel better anyway! Good luck and remember you still have value no matter what!
