A simple expression, a quiet cry to be heard.
“How are you?”
“Overwhelmed.”
Fine. Another word for “overwhelmed” is “anxiety”.
It’s not a static condition; don’t let it define our imprison you.
Acknowledge the feelings, but then, THEN,
1/ take one step back, identify and understand the cause;
2/ Do one thing to improve or address the cause; maybe do a second thing if you feel so moved;
3/ The important thing? DO.
And do again. And again.
As you can. DO.
