1. Burstline: A state where you’re holding back sadness or stress, but you’re so close to breaking down that you could cry or let it all out at any moment. This state can last for minutes, hours, or even days.
Examples
“I’ve been stuck in my burstline for days now, I feel like I could break down any time, but I keep holding it in.”
“When you’re in the burstline, it’s important to find ways to let go, or it just builds up.”
2. Dry Brain: A mental state in which people become numb to pain or happiness due to emotional and mental fatigue.
Examples
“The professor gave me such a dry-brain today”
“Sorry I can’t make it, I’m experiencing a dry-brain”
3. Lemon Throat: The tight, stinging ache in your throat when you’re on the verge of crying but the tears won’t come. It feels sour, raw, and stuck, like your emotions are trapped behind your voice.
Examples
“I felt a lemon throat when I tried to keep it together in front of everyone.”
“Every time I think about it, the lemon throat comes back.”
Will update when I come up with more!
