As best I understand it, I've been thawing for the last 9 months and have been doing SE by myself almost daily during that time. But I am tired now. I want to take a break from feeling and just enjoy life without paying attention to my body. Problem is, the feelings are just there and bubble up and suppressing them creates pressure and discomfort inside me. How do I take a break? Is it even possible or do I have work through everything until the end now that I've opened pandora's box?

I suspect I know why this happens to me, I think it comes from the way I grew up with, how do I fix this? I don't let this stop me from doing things, but it's EXTREMELY annoying because the physical effects don't go away and also when I'm like this my scalp starts burning and my eyes get a bit inflamed and this affects the quality of my life immensely. Is there something I should look at? I'm going to get my thyroid tested just in case but other than this how in the hell do I bring my CNS down and feel safe and fucking relax?

for context I’ve basically let my job take over my entire life. I’m trying to seek out tools for stress management and quieting my brain. I have begun to look into meditation, breathwork, and journaling. I notice every time on my inhale, it gets ‘cut short’. There’s definitely a limit to my inhale and I notice myself stuttering a breath before ultimately holding. I choke a little bit and let out a little breath, even though I know I should hold before exhaling. It makes my breath work feel preemptive and not all fully there. I know the inhale I’m taking can be bigger but I almost always stutter a breath. Where does this come from? Am I that stressed out? How can I make it better? Thanks in advance!
