(Really dumb question) does aromatherapy actually help with intense emotions?

My autism makes me experience extreme emotions, and sometimes during the worst moments.
For instance, at work, I dealt with two blokes who are friends of a previous bully and they were taunting me by saying the exact same things my bully said to me. As much as I tried to keep my shit together, i eventually bursted in tears and had to go to the back a few times. It’s really embarrassing.
I’ve tried everything. Mindfulness doesn’t work. Meditation doesn’t work. Breathing exercises doesn’t work.

Although my manager is familiar to me being mistreated by my bully, I haven’t told my manager about the current situation.
When I told my manager that my bully was targeting me both at work and at college, he said he’ll talk to him and make him go through an anti-harassment campaign.
I have considered telling a manager about it. But I have to highly emphasise that I may be wrong, because I got no proof that it is 100% his friends. I’m only convinced because the things they say to me is exactly word to word to what my bully has said to me.
I will consider talking about this with my gp, thank you
Or would you like me to tag you in a separate post for updates?
Also, thank you for the support 🫶
