Being Overwhelmed

Being overwhelmed is probably what we said when we were 17 27, and continue to say as the decades roll along. It means that we can go on for the rest of our lives using overwhelm and confusion as an indulgence. There are big, ongoing problems, like a parent with dementia or a child with artism. And there are many tiny issues, like having to tidy up the contents of your bag. To compare one problem with the other is like saying a sprain is the same as this degeneration. Both situations are painful, but one causes intense back pain.
