Boss knocked on the door during my 10 minute meltdown and I just said 'almost done'
Last Tuesday I hid in the single stall on floor 3 after a call with a vendor went sideways, and I gave myself 5 minutes to just sit and breathe. I set a timer on my watch, leaned my head on the wall, and let myself be mad instead of typing a fake nice reply. The timer went off, I splashed water on my face, and I walked back out calm enough to fix the mess in 20 minutes. Turns out the quiet stall did more for me than any 'take a walk' advice ever did. Do you all have a spot you go to when you need to cool off, or do you just power through it?

Yes! The bathroom stall is my go-to too, something about that tiny locked space just lets your brain reset without anyone watching. I did the same thing last month after a rough meeting, gave myself 4 minutes then walked back out and fixed everything in half the time. Having a timer really helps because you know it has an end and you can stop the spiral.
