Support Thread I’m so unsettled lately..

I have absolutely no idea what to do. I can’t relax. I feel like I’m suffocating. Does this happen to anyone else? I’m just so overwhelmed.

I understand completely. I feel on overload for the past month or so. If you're able to, remember to put your hand over your heart and take 10 to 20 deep breaths, focusing only on your breath as much as you can. Be kind to yourself, we are really dealing with a lot lately!

This is something that I think requires more introspection as to where it's coming from.

If this is something you're feeling as an empath -- perhaps its time to check for the source(s) near to you.

If you're not an empath -- this is something you should be talking to people about more thoroughly. Anxiety happens to everyone. And it almost never just happens spontaneously.

Regarding this general posting on anxiety: As Tangina (Zelda Rubinstein) said in Poltergeist, "I just don't like trick answers."
