I’m having the mother of all flare ups and can’t calm down, what can I do to aliviate the situation. I know it Christmas Day and I’m so sorry to bother you but I’m desperate. I’ve got to go my sons which is an hours car journey am I going to survive this, I just need to calm down and get on with it. Today should be joyous but I’m so scared. WHY TODAY any other day and I could of stayed in bed and wait for it to pass. Sorry to waffle on, just don’t know what to do anymore

slow nasal breathing helps me

So sorry-I just had a cryfest and journaled some-it helps me to just write all the ramblings down. Deep breathing. My usual calming strategy is walking, and it's way too cold to do that. Good luck!

Hi C.

Firstly sorry U had a flare up regardless of which member of the family it reminds U of . Secondly I apologise for lack of responders & after 2 days I'm going to be the third. U get better interference if U call someone genitalia!!!

Right onto my method , this can work anywhere at any time I find be U sitting standing or laying down in bed .

I place my right hand over my heart & my left below on my tummy ( stomach situated somewhere behind the heart .)

Once I've placed my hands I close my eyes & start to concentrate on how fast my heart is beating & how fast my tummy is going up & down. Now once I've got my heart beat I listen to my breathing & wish to bring in under control & I find that as my breathing calms my heart & tummy calm too & I may not be able to solve what bought it on in the first place , I do however find that I'm back in control again & that's the single most important thing to remember is that U control things & use it every time it happens & once U've got it U can then start looking into what sort of things make U lose it but U now have a technique to hopefully cope with that moment.
