Feeling pretty overwhelmed

Well, the moments, you spend on vacation on a nice beach, all alone (or with your partner) swim at moonlight... are actually just short moments that happen a couple of times in your life. What do you expect? We all work, get up, have stress, some colleagues who are just horrible and hurting, sometimes we hurt others as well, money problems, debts... Its a constant fight to just to remain more or less normal in this crazy world. But as Monthy Python said
It seems like you're recognising something, just not quite connecting the dots...
You're bringing your past with you, whilst trying to move forward.
Every time something happens, your past experience stops you finding the way forward because subconsciously, you're connecting it to the new experience.
That would make anybody overwhelmed!

Maybe the why is human survival instinct. I don’t know how to make it better. I am frequently overwhelmed and I have no real problems. I have PTSD from early (well, late and middle, too) childhood. That’s about it. I am also neurodivergent in that I have a high IQ (gifted, but not genius) and like crazy ADHD.
I’m not on the Autism spectrum, but I still have problems with social skills and responding to nonverbal cues. Or sometimes I overreact when a certain expression or body language gets through to me.
So I can kind of relate, although I’m not still in the nightmarish condition I grew up in. For me, it has been 20+ years of therapy to get where I am a reasonably functioning adult, and I still backtrack here and there.
