When you can't get help right away....

[enough]

16. Given that it is just that, first aid,

in my experience there are a few things that can be done. The problem of course is that when we're in the depths of it, the few simple things are exactly what we find so hard to do.

Get your face and hands and forearms out into direct sunlight outdoors for a few minutes (more time and more skin if possible). If possible, walk around outdoors for a little while. Even though it's a cliche, sit, stand or lie down for seven to ten slow deep breaths. Maybe walk around a little more. If there's no sunlight, a hot bath or shower can also help.

Don't let yourself get too cold or too hungry.

I wish you well, moriah.
