If you're feeling really frustrated, temporarily remove yourself from the situation.

  • Take a short walk outside or go into the next room.
  • Take a few minutes to write down your feelings in a journal.
  • Work a crossword puzzle.
  • Read for a few minutes.

Return to your loved one when you've quieted yourself.
