Emotional Overwhelm

When emotions feel bigger than your ability to hold them.

Small moments feel bigger than they should. Your reactions surprise you. You shut down, snap quickly, feel emotionally flooded, or struggle to come back to yourself once stress hits. Some days it feels like you are carrying too much internally while trying to appear composed externally.
