There are situations in my life when I feel overwhelmed or trapped.
The real issue is when the feeling being trapped becomes persistent.
My life experience when I felt really desperately trapped was extremely painful as it was connected with my loved mum. Maybe after 10 years living in Bratislava (the Capital of Slovakia) I came to live with my mum again.
I felt she needed some help, she can’t live alone anymore. While living with her I understood very quickly, it’s more than older age. It was very serious, she suffered from Alzheimer’s.
I was a single woman used to solve everything myself. In that case I did not have the knowledge what to do, no job, no time for me, no life partner, later no money. I was losing hope, as I couldn’t manage myself.
Due to all the circumstances, I became really trapped inside my skin.
It took me a time to understand, that I have to claim what I want.
I realized, I had to ask for help.
The blessing was I was able to recognize and acknowledge the real issue.
I reassessed values of my life. I learned about myself and about people around me, to get a new perspective.
I was able to see the blessing in this painful time.
I was able to adapt, to believe in myself again, to get a vision and to reinvent myself.
