Stop crying... I'll hold you. Maybe we can borrow Hannah's rocking chair for a minute. Or I have one that used to be my grandmother's.
Close your eyes and take some deep breaths. Feel safe.
If you can't calm down, eat ice cream (my personal favorite), watch TV (TVLand worked for me on Thursday), take a nap with soft music on, distract yourself somehow, find a real live friend who will give you a hug (and share ice cream?), color/draw a picture (crayons smell really good), swing on the swings at a playground (where they have the metal frame and really long chains), blow bubbles.
Buy a copy of "The Women's Comfort Book" for more ideas.
When you are a little calmer, see if you can journal to find out what is bothering you. Or draw a picture. Or talk to yourself (or even someone else). Or post here.
Let me know if this doesn't help.
