You have seen something terrible in the darkness. I understand. What you are feeling... it is your acquisition of inhuman knowledge. You may feel fragile, disoriented. Do not panic.

You must bring your focus closer to your body, so that you may better resist the madness in the world around you. Find something to cover your nose and mouth, you do not need to be breathing in these fetid scents. If you have incense, more's the better.

Find yourself a hat, thick coat, heavy boots. Keep as much of the rain from your body and your mind as you can. You can smear your clothes with incense ash, to aid yourself further.

Be careful with any liquor or pills you take to calm your nerves, you musn't be so addled as to be careless.

There is a prayer I know to keep the madness at bay:
Great volumes of water serve as a bulwark
guarding sleep, and an augur of the eldritch Truth.
Overcome this hindrance, and seek what is yours.

You must hold on to your will to live. Seek what is yours.

Losing direction over your senses can be very disorienting and upsetting, but it's important to keep control of your breathing if you feel something coming on. It might feel laborious to focus on your breath, but it's an effective means of calming someone down.

If things become overwhelming, or if you or someone else is coming in or out of that sort of state, it's important to take in your regained senses carefully. Carry something textured that can ground you, preferably two different sorts. That way you won't become too adjusted to one and lose its power to be grounding, and if one becomes scattered or lost you have a backup. Nostalgic scents are even better to help keep a clear head if they're not overpowering.

You're still you, even if you lose sight of who that is for a moment. Nothing can take that away, not without a fight.
