Ms Kate, naguiguilty po ako. Madalas kasi ako mag walk out pag sobrang overwhelmed ako. Iniiwan ko na lang bigla asawa't anak ko tas tatambay muna ako sa malapit na mcdo or grocery. Hindi ko na po kasi kaya mag stay paminsan. Para akong sasabog. Ayoko makita ng anak at asawa ko yung ganoon ko. Kaya lang naguiguilty din ako sa pag walk out ko. Ano ba talaga gagawin ko dapat?

Hi! I totally understand you. When everything feels too much, we feel trapped. So we want to escape. What I would suggest is for you to communicate with your husband and child that you need a break. Before ka umalis, pwede mong sabihin na "Magrereset lang muna ako. Balik ako in 30 minutes." That way, they understand why you have to do that at para mabawasan rin ang guilt mo. You may also want to talk to a psychologist to explore kung bakit ka naooverwhelm at para maturuan ka ng strategies to safely cope with intense emotions. You may browse therapists at www.beacon.ph/services to choose one who can support you.
