feel distress

In French, 'ressentir de la détresse' conveys the emotional experience of feeling troubled or in a state of despair. It is often used to describe a deep sense of discomfort or sorrow, typically in response to difficult situations or emotional pain. The expression combines the verb 'ressentir,' meaning 'to feel,' with 'détresse,' which signifies distress or anguish, thereby capturing both the physical sensation and the emotional turmoil one may experience.
