I have found for me that this is always a hidden unmet need in my emotional environment coming up to say "hey, something is wrong here" and preventing you from doing what you normally could. Whether that be a lack of a real sanctuary in which you can relax and be attentive to your own needs, to a lack of exercise, not being able to spend any time pulling on a thread you really want to pull on, to in some cases cases a deep unresolved trauma being piqued in moments that are difficult to remember afterwards. I find that when I don't have a good way to describe a feeling, one of the best things to do is try to use one of these emotion wheels to really give myself language to understand (not affiliated w site, you can google image "emotion wheel" but this one has a few interesting ones): https://humansystems.co/emotionwheels/ https://humansystems.co/emotionwheels/ Other helpful ways to describe things not necessarily on those wheels are words like numb, dissociated, etc.
