Feeling: Pressured
Your neck or shoulders may tense, your breath shorten, and time may feel scarce. This state may arise when external expectations exceed your current capacity. Pressure activates stress systems that may have evolved to prioritize urgent tasks but can overwhelm if prolonged.

the shore of knowing what is
to come—which pressure
causes metamorphoses,
protostar pre-nucleosynthesis,
and which pressure produces fissures..."
