Reply to comment by Independent_Tone8605 in LPT: Since April 1st is coming up. A good tip to live by is that everyone should be able to laugh at your prank at the end. If everyone ends up laughing at the person getting pranked, and they are just the punchline, chances are you're just being a jerk. Don't be a jerk. by moosepooo

PTSD person here. If you don't already have "tools" you can use to help feel in control, "the 5-4-3-2-1 exercise" will calm you down quickly. You can also go for a walk for around 10 minutes in the sun within a couple of hours first thing in the morning -- in addition to telling your melatonin clock exactly when to start its countdown, it proves to your limbic system that you are completely safe as there is no perceivable danger impeding you from an outdoor stroll.
