On a knife edge this morning.

Oakling

Been at work less than an hour and already fought off 2 meltdowns. Not doing well at all today and concerned about having a meltdown at work. It’s never happened here before and I don’t want it to either. Genuinely worried at the moment.

I have a meeting in a week and a half to discuss adjustments. I just need to make it until then. But I’m at a tipping point right now.

  • Something that helps me when I’m feeling on the edge is a vagal manoeuvre where you ‘bear down’ with your stomach muscles. If you Google ‘Vagal manoeuvre bear down’ you’ll find it. It help to calm people down when they’re feeling overwhelmed. It’s helped me - but I’ve no idea how it works.
