Well he won't be contacting you if that's what your fear is.

He's probably already moved on to the next woman.

A little positive human contact with a friend, or friends, or a group, doing anything together, that'll help reassure the emotional part of the brain that everything is OK and it can relax.

Or a little exercise, a little sunlight, smile at a few passing strangers.

Or get involved in some project or activity you enjoy doing.

Basically it's the emotional part of the brain we want to trick into believing everything is OK. The rational thinking part of the brain already knows everything is OK. The emotional part of the brain has it's own rules though, and doesn't use logic. So we trick it with slow breathing (which makes it think we are calm), being with friends, or surrounding ourselves with a group of friendly people who accept us. (makes the emotional brain think we're with our tribe, so everything must be OK). Then we feel OK. And then we're OK again.
