Inspired by Eugenia’s Weekly Prompt – Compassion &
Reena’s Exploration Challenge #209 – My brain has too many tabs open
it’s hard to explain
to those not suffering from anxiety
life feels about to explode from the inside out
thoughts are on hyper-drive
garbled fine-tuning recycling constantly turned over thoughts
feelings manifest as super-overwhelmed
have tender compassion and understanding
and support those who are recovering as best they can
when they say “my brain has too many tabs open”
Beautifully expressed.

Well described Susi … my Doc likes to call it hyper-tension, and my psychologist liken’s it to a full dam of latent emotions waiting run down the spillway, but the spillway is blocked with logs and mud …
