You should understand your limit of how difficult a situation can be.

If you exceed it you can try one of my gotos:

1. Could be hungry, offer a banana, with their choice of ripening.

2. Could be thirsty, offer a banana milk, it'll diffuse or gross them out.

3. Could be overwhelmed, banana scented candle.

4. Could have no control, offer a banana fidget toy.

5. Could be alone, buy one of my banana shirts with banana motivational messages on them.

Honestly most problems can be fixed with a helpful banana-ing. As long as you're not an orange, you'll be fine.

idk ... depends heavily on the situation i think.

so: more information would be necessary to provide an actual answer ;))

in general:

1. think about it - if you have the time

2. talk about it / look for help - if you have people around
