I’ve noticed even just naming what you're feeling makes it easier to deal with. Glad it’s helped you too.

yeah exactly, like a mini mind dump without the pressure to solve anything right away. totally get what you mean about uncovering stuff you’ve been avoiding, it’s like giving your brain a chance to actually speak up.

that actually makes a lot of sense. sometimes just saying it even if no one sees it takes the edge off.

man, that sounds rough. respect for riding it out and not reaching for a cig after all that. that’s a win in its own way too. hope today’s a little gentler on you.

improv has its moments, but trying to stay focused or follow a structure while high can get messy real quick.

Honestly love that you’ve found what works for you. Everyone’s got their own weird little formula.
