Need to relax to the max

Got so stressed that I keep feeling sick and breaking out in hives all over my upper body and face. This is the worst it’s ever been. I keep sighing without realizing at first it’s a symptoms that I am close to a breaking point. I’m feeling I’m failing and I feel alone and misunderstood and looked down on. So much is happening and life duddenly looks bad to me… I’m sinking in it all. but I won’t say exactly what because I can’t handle peoples opinions right now…am so tired of thinking of it all though. I could use some good vibes and prayers to get through.

I feel exactly the same i feel for you. sometimes I wonder if some of us need to take a break from here and thinking about how we’re feeling. I’m not saying that is you, you may get comfort from saying how you feel and such. But I’m realizing when people have so many different or conflicting suggestions it makes my mind go in a whirlwind I’m not ungrateful for the suggestions/opinions it’s just idk sometimes I think it makes it worse. We will figure this out my therapist said it’s like a baby walking that baby didn’t walk across the room in one try but did that baby give up no it didn’t sometimes we take one step forward and fall 3 steps backwards sometimes we take 3 steps forward and fall 2 back.

Thanks Adam! That makes sense. Yeah I couldn’t get myself to say troubles they are too personal and scary and I can’t risk being triggered even more. Your idea that we need to sometimes take a break from here is smart I think. I get overwhelmed easily. Do you? I’m deep breathing right now and off to bed as soon as I can.

Really focus on your breathing! Your body is warning you. I help people by coaching them to take a deep breath and count to three, blow out and hold for two—-for a few cycles with you eyes closed. I hope this helps. Find your light sister!! We can all feel it. ♥️

Awesome. Thanks. I will do this breathing. Ok I’m doing it and I can hardly breathe. I can’t seem to do it now. I’m vibrating with stress. I’ll try the breathing later. Just extra long deep breaths in without holding is helpful for me right now. God I just want to cry out to God and I feel like I can’t take any more.

there is a type of yoga that works on breathing—the name escapes me. Google it and try it on You tube. This will pass!!

Star light star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight. I wish you a break from your stress, I wish you a soft pillow and deep slumber, I wish you a cup of chamomile tea waiting for you when you wake, and an iridescent Pink bubble that protects you.

Just had a thought with somebody mentioning a pink bubble; A technique I used to use when I felt unsure of myself. Imagine a big bubble (only you can see it). Step inside it, and draw it around you until it fits your skin. You can see and breathe through it and it acts like armour. Nothing can harm you inside this bubble.

I also used to use a version of it when I was driving, shrinking the bubble to the size and shape of the car. and when my kids were with me we used to have a little Star Trek theme, saying 'Shields to Max!' before we started off.

Worked For me!

Cheers, Midori
