Overwhelmed Part 2

What do you do when you feel overwhelmed?   Some shut down, yell, run away from it all, eat, don't eat, drugs or drink.   When we are feeling overwhelmed our relational skills shut down.  When the relational skills shut down, we no longer can communicate with others positively.   It can leave us feeling alone, angry, depressed & anxious. 

How do we keep from getting overwhelmed?  We can find out what the triggers are.  Depending on the triggers, will depend on the next step.  No matter what a plan on how to deal with feeling overwhelmed needs to be thought of & how it can be put in to action.  If we have a person we can trust it is helpful.   

Reaching out when we are overwhelmed may not feel like the easiest thing to do.   Our brain can feed us messages of gloom & doom that can be hard to over ride to move forward.  But once we take the first step to reach out, it can be freeing.
