When your nervous system won’t settle, what does it feel like for you?

Sometimes people say, “I’m overwhelmed, ”but what that actually feels like can be very different.

For some people, it feels like:

• sound getting too sharp• thoughts looping

• your chest staying tight• your jaw clenching

• your body bracing for something

• emotion rising too fast

• not being able to fully exhale

For others, it feels like:

• going quiet

• shutting down

• feeling far away

• going numb

• losing words

• needing everything to stop

If you had to describe your version of overwhelm…

what does it actually feel like in your body?

Not the word.

The experience.

You can answer with:

• one word• one sentence

• or a short description

No pressure to explain it perfectly.

Just notice what your body recognizes.
