It feels like too much.
All at once.
Things keep coming.
You can’t hold it all.
You try to stay on top.
But it slips.
Sometimes it shows up as:
feeling overwhelmed by everything
not being able to keep up
wanting to escape
feeling mentally and emotionally overloaded
struggling to stay steady
You might have told yourself:
you’ll get through it
just keep going
handle one thing at a time
But it doesn’t ease.
It’s not always about how much there is.
Something makes it feel like too much.
You don’t need to hold it here.
