Hello there.

Honestly, this is a hard one. I've struggled with this a bit from time to time. If it's really getting to you, I think the absolute best thing you can do is just step away from the project a bit. But some distance between you and your character so you can get a handle on your emotional health. After that, if you choose to go back to the story, learn and practice some grounding techniques while you write. Things that can help you focus on yourself and the present to help remind you that you are different from your character.

But the thing is: it is just a moment. It's not who you are. It's not your actual life.

Part of acting is being able to turn this piece of yourself off when the performance is done. You wipe off the stage blood, you pull off the costume, and you see your own face instead of the character.

You then go home, have some wine, take a bath, chill and watch a movie; you spend time recognizing that what you just did was work, your job, and there's no reason to take it home with you, because the character is not you, it's just something that you're putting on for a while, and now you've taken it off.

Margaret, my dear, you’re not obliged to answer this question, but… do you have any reason for thinking that Mr. Thornton cared for you? Father, I’m sorry.

Then Aragorn took the crown and held it up and said:

‘Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn’ Ambar-metta!’

I do not believe this darkness will endure.

“Oh, my Margaret - my Margaret! No one can tell what you are to me! Dead - cold as you lie there, you are the only woman I ever loved! Oh, Margaret - Margaret!”
