I personally don't experience improper aftercare that often, but if/when I need more than he's able to provide at a given time, or even if I'm just feeling a bit "off" in general, I do a few things that seem to help me.
First off, I make sure I've eaten enough- one of the biggest problems I have is not having the proper nutrition, and then dropping after play from my body telling me this, which drags down my mood as well. Something as simple as a banana after play can make a huge difference- and same thing goes for making sure I'm hydrated.
I write/collage/draw/whatever in my creative journal (shoot me a message if you want to know more about this), in order to vent feelings and make everything settle down in my head if I'm emotional. Sometimes I indulge in a project I want to do, or dance the feelings out until I'm exhausted. I spend time reading, doing things that make me feel happy/pretty/intelligent, what have you.
Lots of times, I just snuggle up under the covers for a while and ride it out. I talk to him when there's a chance to if it's really an issue- usually after I've sorted things out in my journal first. It's usually difficult for me to approach conversation before clarifying things in my own head first.
Hope you're doing better, and take care of yourself.
