Some breathing & a mindfulness meditation usually helps me when feeling overwhelmed.

It's not always possible to do that at the time (when I most need it).

Ideally, talking to someone (eg a support phone line) often helps the most.

Hi everyone ..... 👋

When I am feeling overwhelmed I take some sort of self-care time out.  I am loving the suggestions coming in ....,

Recently I have been doing more walking now that we have moved to a more walking friendly area.  Also good with our new living arrangement with mum.and dad inlaw so close I can just walk out lock the door behind me and knowing the little people are safe and supervised.
