Members shared a wide variety of things that calm them when feeling overwhelmed, with faith and prayer being the most commonly mentioned source of comfort and peace. Several members described practical approaches like deep breathing, listening to soothing music, journaling, napping, spending time in nature, and using natural supplements like passion flower tincture, chamomile tea, and omega oils. A recurring theme was the importance of slowing down, accepting rest without guilt, and leaning on community, pets, loved ones, and faith to get through the hard moments.

When I get overwhelmed I like to lay on the couch awhile and watch old comedies.

I'm the type that doesn't get anxious or overwhelmed. My wide does and I always help her. I suggest breathing and thinking of happier thoughts. I know it sounds cliche, but it works.

When I get anxious, overwhelmed at a meeting of my fellow MSrs, in Marton at our monthly lunch, which happens often, I have a Fidget Cube in my pocket. I twiddle with that with my fingers until I feel calmer again.
