sorted oneself out

Put things right

To sort oneself out is to resolve personal problems or get one's affairs in order.

The phrase suggests moving from confusion or difficulty to stability: Give me a few months to sort myself out after the divorce.

More casually, it can mean getting ready or organized: I need five minutes to sort myself out before we leave.
