I hear you, and indeed, this can make even the strongest person feel a heavy weight in their chest. Your heart beats, but it feels slow. You breathe just to breathe, and you feel only numbness. You know that you are supposed to close the envelope of those moments, leaving them in the past because, sadly, due to life's circumstances, they could not become a part of a shared future.
Life may seem cruel when the only thing it offers is to accept it and move on. Letting go of someone who was not just part of your past and present, but also your future dreams, is incredibly difficult. And so, the heaviness becomes even more real.
We do not feel the heaviest when facing certain problems or situations beyond our control— we feel the heaviest when we actively resist what is happening and what is bound to happen.
I’m glad you turned to Express Uneasiness to share these feelings. Now, let’s work through these uneasy emotions.
I know the word “work” might immediately make you think of letting go of the relationship, which feels impossible right now. But, resisting or procrastination will only deepen the pain and make it more difficult to cope.
I encourage you to reflect and write about:
Where do you feel resistance?
What aspects of this reality do you find difficult to accept?
What is making you impatient, frustrated, sad, depressed, hopeless, or even worthless?—Write for those who apply.
Expressing is the first step toward healing ππ
Writing about these emotions will bring clarity and help you take the next steps toward what’s best for you.
Once you’ve written these reflections, you can connect with your psychologist, who will guide you and assist you in processing these uneasy emotions, developing healthy coping systems, and rebuilding your life.
Remember: Life always moves forward, and so do we because we are life.
Your Psychologist,
Ambidextrous Anmol
