Yesterday I went shopping in a very crowded supermarket. It was exhausting. I almost had a meltdown in public. do you have any advice on how to calm down / avoid overstimulation during such situations?

my shrink gave me a small scented-stick i can put in my pocket (aroma-therapy) and when i’m getting super nervous i use it and it helps very quick. Plus he told me to count things of a special color i choose or to focus on the feeling of my feet on the ground. just those very simple things. Sometimes it works, sometimes i only calm down when i’m alone again…
