“I feel like I'm carrying too much.”
Sometimes it isn't one big thing.
It's everything, all at once — the mental load, the pressure to hold it together, the sense that if you stop moving, it'll all catch up to you.
If you've ever thought these things, you're not alone.
Overwhelm often sounds like this...
“ I don't even know where to start. ”
“My body feels tense but
I don't know why”
You push through even when you're running on empty.
You say "I'm fine" more than you actually feel it.
You wonder when you'll finally get a moment that's just yours.
