Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I spend all day arranging my face into the cheerful, capable version everyone expects while I feel nothing like it inside, and holding that mask up hour after hour is leaving me hollowed out and weirdly unsure of what I even feel underneath it anymore.
- I blew up at someone again and the anger came out instant and loud, but if I’m honest it was covering something rawer
- I run on autopilot from morning till I crash at night, and if you stopped me midday and asked how I’m feeling I’d genuinely have no idea
- There’s a hard thing from a while back that keeps replaying in tangled fragments and I’ve never sat down to actually put it into words
- The big blowup is over but I’m completely wrung out
