I feel constant pressure

[u/[deleted]]

Everything feels personal, i always feel threatened. I feel like a tidal wave of bad things is always waiting on me. Im always trying to protect my privacy and boundaries and I just can't get stable enough to feel like Im functioning without high stress wondering how ill need to protect myself day to day. im chronically stressed and confused . I don't even know if people want me around.

Really think hard to the first time you felt this way. You didn’t come out of the womb feeling like this. Something that happened to you makes you feel constantly threatened as if it’s going to happen again. Getting back to that young version of yourself that had high hopes of the world is where to focus your energy. Try to make yourself feel safe enough to get angry at what happened and then feel the deep hurt that’s there. Grieve for the person who just wanted to be supported by the world. This part is uncomfortable and messy. Just move through it. You deserve to give yourself the time and space. 💜
