New evening. Old sensations.

NAS94655

Hello, I am really struggling this evening to cope with the overwhelming sensations flowing through my body. I cannot talk to anyone about it as they do not understand. Does anyone else struggle in a similar way? If so, what works for you?

    Yes.

    If I cannot find the root cause, knowing, at some point, it'll eventually pass. The hard part is knowing if its cause is psychological or physical. Sometimes there is too much a need to "problem solve" rather than allowing things to be, regardless of how unpleasant they are. If it's psychological, distraction can help. 

    This is not medical advice.

    The symptoms are in a variety of forms - pain to hiccups to pins and needles. I practice deep breathing and hugging trees when I am overwhelmed. It does not always help.

    Who would you describe these sensations? Are they physical or mental? Localised of mobile? Random, regular or constant?

    It it is pain, I find a form of meditation to dissociate from the physical body helps to stop it clouding my mind and can sometimes compartmentalise it to stop it getting in the way of what I'm doing.
