Overwhelm and me… basically in a long‑term relationship
Overwhelm seems to wakes up before I do.
It’s there like, “Morning darling, ready to panic about absolutely everything?”
And honestly… with menopause tagging along, some days it feels like I’m living inside a very dramatic soap opera.
But here’s the plot twist:
I’ve started fighting back — gently, because I’m tired.
So when overwhelm tries to take over, I hit it with my emotional toolkit:
- Breathwork — because apparently I forget to breathe like a normal human
- Grounding — me, standing in the kitchen touching the counter like it’s a sacred tree
- Movement — sometimes elegant, sometimes just shaking like a wet dog
- EFT tapping — poking my face and hoping the universe appreciates the effort
Do these things magically fix my life?
Absolutely not.
Do they stop me from spiralling into a puddle on the floor?
Most days, yes — and I’ll take the win.
If you’re overwhelmed too, you’re not alone.
We can be dramatic together.
One breath, one tap, one slightly chaotic wiggle at a time.
