To be fair, nothing really works (and yet it can)...
Just go there. Go to the beast. Scratch her behind the ears and hear her purr. And when she’s like putty in your hands, ask her what she wants. Maybe she’s trying to tell you something. Maybe she just wants to come out and play. Maybe she just wants to be acknowledged.
What would happen if you just did that instead?

The there there tenderness toward self only works after the beast is slightly back in her box. I've been musing on your comments all day. I don't wish to fight the beast at all - just to sooth and calm her. But she's like a wild animal when she's like this - it's like you're trying your best to calm her down and she's raising hooves and bucking and rearing and coming out all tooth and claw and you're cowering beneath her. And it's not until this storm is at least a little past that you can hope to sooth her at all. But, the fact I'm writing and talking shows she's at least part subdued for now - and I'm tenderly stroking around the edges of this, tenderly tenderly. xx
i totally hear this. anxiety is overwhelming when its like this and it's really hard to have a conversation. sending you love dear and i'm glad you're taking the meds that help you get some peace, some space <3
Oh, I know why I didn't see these - they were comments under comments, and that didn't come up as an alert. Wierd. Thankyou, feeling a lot better now!
