“That overwhelming feeling” …… Bach Remedies can help you manage this
Just imagine feeling that you can do anything you want, you can conquer the world, nothing will ever get you down. You can rise above it all. It’s a beautiful feeling and if you can put the overwhelm out of your life.
It is all possible.
What does overwhelm look and feel like?
Overwhelm is something that can creep into our lives almost unknowingly, but it suddenly seems to pounce on us! And catch us by surprise. However, when it does the results can be quite disastrous and devastating.
It will often affect those who are confident and capable, and they will suddenly lose their confidence and become almost depressed. Often these people are managers and are in positions of responsibility and concerned for the welfare others, frequently affects mothers who are working and spinning numerous plates!
I always think of the pack of cards that have been built into a house and the 52nd card is put on the top and it crumbles to a heap. Now if this happens every time you do it – then you will realise that this is the norm! however, if this has never happened before, you could be utterly devastated especially if you had an audience at the time. We need to prevent this from creating the low and devastating mood.
The feeling of overwhelm can also create a feeling of panic and a feeling of not being able to cope which can be very distressing especially if the sufferer is in a position of having people depending on them.
So Dr Bach gave us the beautiful and amazing remedy, Elm. There to ease away the overwhelming feeling…..
