The Triggered Place

When it seems life is falling apart, and I feel overwhelmed by things, I have to remember that it is not a catastrophic event. My mind creates so much panic when something goes wrong that I can’t even think straight. My body and its systems close up, and I feel a pit in my stomach that just hurts like I have been gut-punched. My breath becomes shallow, my skin feels hot, and my mind races with negativity. This is a state of a major trigger that is a place of complete emotional overwhelm. When this happens I have to practice faith and talk myself down from the ledge. The thoughts take me to a place of despair and hopelessness. I feel trapped and that there is no way out, and it feels like I am stuck in a prison. I feel like giving up but I know this will pass and that things will work out somehow. I must keep faith and let this feeling pass. I feel so setback and cannot believe how much fear I feel from this situation. When I am lost in this doubt, I know I have to go to the source of my Higher power to find some relief. The worry just makes things worse, and I have to remember I am loved and supported. The world has my back as long as I do good things and put out loving vibrational frequencies. It hurts me when I get caught up in this spiral of over-catastrophizing. I trust that that everything will work out the way it needs to I just have to practice faith and be patient. I remember to let your nature bathe me with your presence so I can heal and rest from this triggered state. This place of disunity is not a great place to be, and I pray it shifts soon because I do not feel well here.
