Names for the heavy days

Labeling an emotion imperfectly still beats carrying it unnamed.

Heavy days rarely arrive with a tidy diagnosis. They show up as irritability, numbness, or a body that will not settle. Giving the day a name — even a metaphor — can reduce shame.

You might call it static, fog, or a low orbit. The label is not permanent; it is a handle so you can ask for what helps without having to explain your entire history first.
