Get over
- This is written by a native speaker on a website:
"I like be by myself when I'm breaking down or crying. I don't want others to see me down. But going out is a way for me to clear my head and get over some things going on."
- What do "I like be by myself" and "get over some things going on" mean in this context?
Thanks so much to Teachers,

It should be "I like to be by myself..."
To "get over some things going on" means to recover one's emotional balance after something upsetting has happened -- essentially, to calm down.
