Have some self-compassion
It only makes you feel worse to start getting really down on yourself for being so angry and emotional. Extend the same kind of compassion to yourself that you would to a dear friend who is going through the same thing. Be kind to yourself, be caring. And be forgiving. Above all else remember: This too shall pass.
