YES! For all those blaming themselves where the cause lies elsewhere…and compassion and empathy for yourself is needed…

GOOD MORNING! I hope you find time for a pause today. Even 5mins. My 5mins is at 2pm. When’s yours?

I'm reposting this because on that scale of 0 -100 I don't think I know a single person running at zero. I'm not sure there's many people running at under 100 right now.

While it may look like you go from 0-100 instantaneously, what is misunderstood is that you were never at 0. There is no 0. You're running beyond 100 and trying to keep it all under control.

So are you 'over reacting' to something innocuous? Something small? Something seemingly insignificant?
No. You are running far beyond capacity. You are reacting to everything. All at once. And most of it is neither insignificant, innocuous nor trivial. Those are the bits no one sees, because you hide them so well.
