Wanted to talk about it. So here’s my advice for dealing with breakdowns/intense emotions.

The important thing is not to fight. You don’t need the feeling gone. It will leave on its own time. You don’t need to act on it. Just pause. Close your eyes. And let the emotions run through you, cry if you have to, scream if you can, but lower your defenses and let it overtake you. Then take a deep breath, get up off the floor, and keep moving. You do not have to be at war with your intense emotions. You do not have to push them away and escape them. Let them flow through you unobstructed and they will do no harm.

Small word of advice (THAT NO OnE ASKED FOR)s if you’re dealing with emotional abuse, if they hit you with the action, with the abuse, and you call it to attention it could give them the opportunity to deny it.
