Avoid things that might set you off more, including social media.
Do something you enjoy
Eat a good sensory snack.
Stim a lot
Either physically tire yourself with exercise
or sit down, tell yourself you are safe, and breath deeply.

silence, solitude, and doing something mundane and routine to quieten my racing brain

Have you tried vaping some CBD ( 750 mg ) oil ? That's what I do when things start building up inside and I feel like I'm going to blow up .
CBD is legal in all states and doesn't get you high . Look for high dosage , what they sell in Health food stores is usually the lowest dosage possible and doesn't work .

Current google search at least from April of this year says CBD oil is NOT legal in all 50 states. Did something change?

You can calm down with noise-cancelling headphones.

Listening to music can have a very relaxing effect on the body.

CBD perfectly suits quality US [url=https: , but unfortunately it is not legal at all the states. I dunno why there are such restrictions as cbd oil contains zero THC, only innocent cannabidiol which is a proven remedy to fight a lot of diseases.

This. Works like a charm 95% of the time for me, and even more so when I'm singing along (it's like a stim for me).

Music is also effective for calming up.
