pulled together

Got it together

Pulled together describes someone who is composed, organized, and presenting themselves well despite circumstances that might justify otherwise.

A pulled-together person appears calm and competent: She seemed remarkably pulled together for someone who'd just lost her job.

The phrase suggests effort—that composure has been actively assembled rather than effortlessly maintained.
