Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I love the people closest to me but I move through whole days barely seeing them, like they’ve faded into the background
• My partner has become so much a part of the furniture of my life that I barely register them anymore, and I catch myself being short or distracted
• After we fight we just let it sit for days with neither of us reaching out, and the hurt quietly piles up until I start reading even neutral things they do as another little jab
• I’m half-listening to the people I love most because they’re always around
• I’ve gone numb to the good things right in front of me
