Focus on your breathing! Take deep breaths in through your nose and slowly release out your mouth. Do this as many times as it takes. It will help to settle you down. If you have a lunch break maybe go for a walk if you can. We all have days like this but it will pass.

Maybe you could try to go and take a few bathroom "breaks" throughout your day. splash some cold water on and do breaking exercises like GentleGiant mentioned. I do that when I get "jammed" up and need a minute or two... or five to breathe. The day will be done. Hang in there. :)

Thanks I appreciate it I actually did take a break I kinda broke down a bit which didn't help much but I'm hanging in there thankfully my day is almost done

It seems we are having the same kind of day. I've been a crying mess all day. Took a walk but that didn't help. Sorry you are feeling this way.

I am feeling bit better now that I'm home but now that the urge to cry is gone I'm just depressed I'm hoping some sleep will help that's if I can sleep. Sorry your feeling the same way today hope you feel better soon just take it easy

I'm feeling like that tonight just turned some music. Hope we both have a better day tomorrow:)

from experience a good cry is helpful and releases endorphines, i find that sitting in my car i can let it out freely and most of the time i dont exactly know why i am crying. Let it out, thats why you have the burning feeling in your chest
