Carried: Uncontrollable Responses from the Central Nervous System
“I was the whole family's lifeline for so long, pushed past every limit, that my system is finally flailing and can't hold anymore.”
It shows as a state of overwhelm past the edge of capacity, the whole system reverberating and flailing after being required, for years, to meet severe threat as the family's sole support, expanding at all costs with everything at stake. The reserves are simply spent. This is a grave state, and where it is live its care belongs with someone trained to help. What it asks for is to be relieved of the post one held alone, and let the system come back down.
The boy who found a leak in the sea-wall and held it back with his hand through the whole long night, the town's safety resting on one child at the edge of his strength. The form implies a task: to let others take the wall, and lift the hand that was never meant to hold the sea alone.
