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

• Something is really getting to me right now and it’s running the show, but if you asked me what the feeling actually is I couldn’t tell you
• There’s this big formless dread sitting on me and I can’t even say what it is
• I’m flooded with something big and shapeless and I can’t even say what it is
• When they ask what’s wrong, all that comes out is “you ignored me” or “you don’t care”
• When something’s wrong all I can manage is a vague "I feel off" or "I feel bad," and that fog just sits on me and grows
