Pressure sitting right on my chest since the afternoon, the kind that doesn’t lift no matter how I breathe into it.
Shoulders locked up again before I even noticed it happening, and by the time I caught it, it was already the shape of my whole evening.
Didn’t feel like talking it through with anyone, just wanted the window cracked and the air doing something instead of me for a while.
Still sitting here with it. Not expecting it to clear by tonight, not pushing for that either.
that chest pressure feeling is so familiar, I just open a window too and let it sit for a bit
That locked-up shoulders thing before you even notice is exactly what gets me on the drive home, there’s a stretch around the 45 minute mark where I catch my jaw and shoulders clenched tight and I have no idea how long they’d been like that.
The part about it not lifting no matter how you breathe into it — that’s the one that gets me every time. Had three evenings like that last month, right in the middle of waiting on callbacks for job applications, and by the time I noticed anything was wrong the whole evening had already set itself up that way.
