How do you deal with overwhelm? 

I was just thinking about this;

• I don’t “get over it” instead, I tend to go beyond it.
• I know for a fact that things won’t get so bad that time stops! 
• Time, thing and life will go on. 

So I think beyond that time/moment and it helps me to gain perspective. 
For example when I was beginning to feel overwhelmed about the imminent prospect of giving birth within a few days, I reminded myself that one week from today my baby would be in my arms, that perspective really helped.

Sometimes it takes thinking about the that long game, future prospect and looking a little further up the road that will give you the hope you need, to know you’ll make it through, what you’re going through.
