I too have had an experience this week where I realised "I can't learn more or dig into my emotions and thoughts any more, I'm at the saturation point, the only way for this to get better is time, and feeling things as they come up" and it's SO ANNOYING. (But also good.)

For realz, it is definitely annoying. If I could just approach it all from my head, that would be dandy 😂

Ugh, I'm so good at intellectualizing my feelings instead of actually feeling them. I'm working on getting better at that, too (verrry slowly).

It’s like, if I can just think hard enough about this feeling then I can solve the problem without ever really feeling it 😂 but I think that’s what developed my coping mechanisms in the first place!
