At exactly freezing, water can be ice or liquid. Some days you’re both, and that’s allowed.

At the exact point where water changes state, both forms are possible, and nothing is malfunctioning. Some days you are genuinely both things: fine and not fine, grateful and sick of it, ready and frightened. The pressure to pick one and report it cleanly is social rather than real. Mixed is a stable condition and not a sign that you have failed to sort yourself out.

If somebody asks how you are this week, try answering with both halves. Good about one thing, rough about another, and let the answer be true rather than tidy.
