Your nervous system is waving red flags. The forgetfulness. The exhaustion. The snapping at people you love. These aren’t weaknesses—they’re receipts of how long you’ve been carrying everything alone since your divorce.
Being the strong one, the capable one, the one everyone else leans on… has a price. And your body is paying it. Control doesn’t equal safety—it equals a wound-up nervous system that eventually cracks.
Even when you know you need help, letting someone in can feel impossible. You’ve trained yourself to push people away, to prove you don’t need anyone. And when help does show up? It feels so foreign that you reject it—because receiving means facing the parts of yourself you’ve tried hardest to avoid.
But freedom doesn’t come from more control or more isolation. It comes from integration—facing your shadows, owning your story, and finally letting someone carry the load with you. Healing doesn’t start with finding help. It starts with learning to receive it.
So here’s the question: Are you ready to set down the weight you’ve been hauling for years? To find safety in connection instead of control? Because your nervous system is begging for it.
