There was a point in my last relationship where I just kept feeling this heavy disappointment. Not anger, not sadness exactly just this quiet, exhausting feeling that things weren't what I thought they'd be. Writing it down didn't help. Talking about it didn't help. It was just... there. So I tried something weird. I imagined that feeling as an actual object something dull and heavy, like a stone that had been worn down by water. And then I mentally put it somewhere. On a shelf. Out of my chest. Sounds unhinged but it genuinely made it feel smaller. Does anyone else do this?
