Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows

Bleary-eyed and glad today is over. Frustration and exhaustion don't even cover it. So here, have these words that somehow describe my feelings perfectly at the moment.


the bends

n. frustration that you’re not enjoying an experience as much as you should, even something you’ve worked for years to attain, which prompts you to plug in various thought combinations to try for anything more than static emotional blankness, as if your heart had been accidentally demagnetized by a surge of expectations

anthrodynia

n. a state of exhaustion with how shitty people can be to each other, typically causing a countervailing sense of affection for things that are sincere but not judgmental, are unabashedly joyful, or just are.
