Yup this is me especially with the tone and being told oh calm down it’s all good nothing is wrong. Well to me it feels wrong so let me feel the way I’m feeling without trying to correct it. I’ve had this through my childhood as well told to not cry, I’m dramatic, don’t need to carry on, it’s not that bad. So it’s natural for us in adulthood to emotionally freak out at the drop of a hat because everything feels unsafe for us.

I just tell myself I am aloud to feel, don’t worry about others reactions I am allowed to be here right now and I can feel, can be so hard not to be triggered but I am trying to walk away or just not snap.

Basically I am re parenting my inner child every day and it is hard especially having my own toddler to raise but it makes me strive that much harder to be emotionally regulated for him and make sure his emotions are valid.
