Added 2023-05-10 06:13:49 +0000 UTC🕯️Fueled by the Fire🔥 There are days we feel like we are drowning. Our psyche becomes a flooded room with just enough air at the top to keep us from going under. Sometimes life gives us reasons to feel this way, but for the unfortunate few of us, our brains just fill with water. Full to the brim, barely any oxygen, the only relief is when a few splashes fall of the brim of our eye lashes and even then it’s not enough to come up for air. Mental health becoming an underwater minefield, one boom after the other but no one can hear a thing. On days like this, when my wife’s lost in her own mind and I can’t swim for her, I choose to wade in the waters. Co regulation is something I strongly recommend for healthy relationships, the act of using your nervous system to help ground your partner’s. When I hold her heaving chest against my breast I feel her coming back up for air. Her arms cling around my waist like a life raft. I want to be the lighthouse in the middle of her storm. So with candlelight, and a little fake fire, all I can do is hold her, and bring her back to dry ground.
