What does emotional dysregulation actually feel like from the inside? This piece captures the moment-to-moment chaos of being overwhelmed, angry, and unheard — especially when the system you're trapped in expects silence. It’s about the invisible labor of emotional containment, the rage that builds from being dismissed, and the cost of putting out fires no one acknowledges are burning. A real-time map of what it means to burn quietly in plain sight.

What looks like an overreaction is often a deep wound being touched.

Here I explore the silent, invisible struggles behind connection: the texts that never get sent, the guilt that follows vulnerability, and the deep fear that keeps you from reaching out—even when all you want is to belong.

What if the push-pull inside you isn’t a flaw—but a pattern? This post explores a powerful realization about disorganized attachment and the emotional blueprint it leaves behind. A story of grief, clarity, and finally seeing the shape of your suffering.
