The term "Get ahold of yourself" is primarily used when someone, a friend, a relative, a boss, a coworker, etc perceives your words or behaviors as being extreme or irrational. In terms of slang, they may perceive you as "freaking out." For example, if you become emotionally distraught and begin crying uncontrollably because you lost your job, a friend may say "Get ahold of yourself" which can be translated into "Stop crying, we can work this out, you'll find another job."
