When I start feeling that way, everything my friend says riles me up even more. I can't even look at that person without wanting to snap.
What helps me is to go to my room or the bathroom, someplace I can be alone, and do a forward bend. I lean forward, looking at my knees and let my head hang down. It sounds kinda weird, but I guess the extra blood to my brain or something helps calm me down. I'll take a few deep breaths like that, then I'm ready to go back out there.
It doesn't get rid of the stress entirely, but if does make it to where I can function and be around people again!
Try it once or twice and see if it helps you any. I hope it does!!!
