Basically title, I'm in a highly stressful situation emotionally at the moment and while tomorrow everything should in theory at least make some progress (i.e. I'll find out where we stand, whether or not that's a result I like) it would be helpful if I'm actually able to like, form a sentence when that happens - and also get on with the other stuff I need to do. 

I am terrible at self soothing but since I quit meth (which used to help me by basically getting rid of my emotions) I have found that going for a walk and a few cigarettes helps me a lot. However when I am in this kind of state (i.e. severe) I find that it seems to make things worse. Last time I tried (stressing over the same thing) I just ended up thinking I was going to have a seizure (I'm epileptic, and while it is well controlled, extreme stress can be detrimental) and not at all relaxed. I think it worsened the partly-dissociative state I was in which eventually led me to relapse on meth... 

So really what I'm looking for is self-soothing tips that I can do from the comfort of my own bedroom, and I'm especially looking for ones that are a bit counter-intuitive and maybe not necessarily recommended very often. The kind of tip I'm looking for is more your sort of last resort coping strategy. Ideally I would take a rivotril to be honest but the GP surgery is closed (it's a holiday here) and I don't want to get sectioned - I don't think I would be, but I'm not risking the hospital because I voluntarily entered once and then they sectioned me when I asked for permission to leave, saying "we didn't really understand why you were in here in the first place" as if that's some kind of excuse
