Pull Yourself Together

01.15.04 (12:35 pm) [edit]

Jerry chose this idiom. The meaning of "pull yourself together" is to get control over your emotions and become calm after being very upset. Jerry has a good illustration.

There are lots of idioms that you could use for being upset: "blowing one's top", "breaking down," "falling apart," "going to pieces," "losing one's head,", etc. All of these mean that you are losing control of your feelings. So, when people get calm after being upset, they have pulled themselves together again.
