Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• One part of this calmed down and I thought I was through it, but then a different angle of the same thing flared right back up
• There’s so much piled on me at once that I can’t even find myself underneath it all
• When the harsh voice or the anxious spiral takes over, it feels like it just is me
• Something just set me off and I can feel it surging right now
• Something bad happened and the original hurt feels almost smaller than the storm I’ve built on top of it
