The very worst has happened! Are you still alive? Yes, good.
Things always seem much more worse than they really are, we like a good catastrophising! If you’re still here, there’s something you can do.
Find your own space.
My head goes into a fucking whirl when things get even slightly too much for me.
It feels like the world’s ending, doesn’t it?!
That you can’t find a way out of things.
Start paying attention to how you react.
Notice the patterns.
Notice what sets you off.
And nothing else.
For goodness sake, don’t try to sort out everything at once because that only adds fuel to the flames.
Breathe.
Don’t you find yourself short of breath sometimes?
Can’t find air.
Can’t focus.
Can’t relax.
Anxious, worried, desperate.
NOT A GOOD LOOK.
Find physical space for yourself – get out for a walk if nothing else.
Find headspace for yourself – close your eyes, count to ten, lock the bathroom door.
There’s so much going on in the world that nothing makes sense sometimes. You feel it, I feel it, everyone at some point feels the same.
You can get to where you need and want to be, give yourself time.
