name-what-im-feeling
Turn a vague bad mood or 'off' feeling into a precisely-named emotion and its likely cause — because naming it is what starts to defuse it. Use when asked I feel off and don't know why, help me figure out what I'm feeling, I'm in a weird mood, or why am I upset. Produces a short, gentle inquiry that distinguishes the actual emotion from the fog (anxious vs frustrated vs lonely vs overwhelmed), its most likely trigger, what the feeling might be pointing at, and one small thing that tends to help that specific state — never diagnosing, just helping you locate yourself.

# Name What I'm Feeling "I feel off" is a fog, and fog is hard to act on. Precisely naming an emotion — anxious, resentful, lonely, overwhelmed, restless — is itself regulating: it's the difference between being swept along by a mood and being able to look at it. This gently helps you locate the actual feeling, its likely cause, and what it might be telling you — plus one small thing that tends to help that specific state. It's a locating tool, not a diagnosis. ## What This Skill Produces - **The named emotion** — moving from "off/bad/weird" to the specific feeling (or the two that are tangled together) - **The likely trigger** — what most plausibly set it off (an event, a need, a thought, a body state like hunger/tiredness) - **What it's pointing at** — the unmet need or the message the feeling might carry - **One small helpful thing** — a gentle, specific action that tends to ease *this* particular state - **A boundary** — clear that this is a locating aid, not therapy, and a nudge toward real support if the feeling is heavy or persistent ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **The felt sense** — how it feels, even vaguely ("heavy," "restless," "tight") - **What's b
