    Being in the same hospital both my parents died in was pure hell. The triggers, the beeping machines, the smell, the heartbreaking memories. 🥺 The emotional toll was worse than the suffocating feeling of not being able to breathe.

    Sorry for the unhappy thoughts, just needed to get that out.

    Now I sleep...

    i’m so sorry M 💔 i know those triggers very well

    Could one use “underlying” and “overarching” interchangeably?

    The visuals in the metaphors are different but I can’t think of a circumstance in which you couldn’t use either

    I guess I think of underlying as being more of a cause and overarching being more of a theme but still…

    I agree -- I think underlying is something that's simmering beneath the surface and maybe isn't a big deal - like maybe a small problem within a relationship that's there but not important enough to pay attention to ---- but an overarching problem would be one that encompasses that relationship, like what's his face from Try Guys with his infidelity problem 😋
    I disagree about it being not a big deal. Underlying to me implies a root cause which would be very hard to unearth or eradicate. Like his low self-esteem is the underlying cause for his drug addiction. Or the abuse he suffered in childhood is the underlying reason he kicks the dog. Am I just kind of dark?

    Eta: Underlying gives me the image of a foundational premise or something that is built upon and therefore very important


    Sorry, I’m not familiar with the example you cited though

    I googled and it says it's the basis for something else, so you're right, it could be a cause to a larger problem, but I think the term underlying doesn't necessarily mean that it's a big problem

    Ok so underlying = cause

    Do you think overarching means the entire effect observed after completion? That’s my impression

    Underlying is implicit. Overarching is explicit. This was a fun discussion though!

    It’s OK I’m picturing you in a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches now so that more than makes up for it. Especially when you’re holding the ruler.

    My understanding is that underlying is more implicit, or hidden, whereas overarching is more explicit - out in the open.
