For a long time, she believed everything she was feeling was just tiredness. Built-up stress. Too much routine. Maybe hormones.
She was sleeping reasonably well, eating the way she was "supposed to," and trying to keep life moving at a normal pace. But even so, something inside her felt⦠switched off.
Her energy dropped a little more each weekĀ ā”. Her focus slipped away easilyš«ļø. And even the things that once brought her joy felt distant ā as if she were living on autopilot, watching her own life from the outside.
Then, on a quiet afternoon, her friend Sarah said something that struck her deeply.
With a soft voice, almost like a confession, Sarah whispered:
She felt a tightness in her chest, because in that moment, she realized she felt exactly the same.
What no one explains is that when the body stays overwhelmed for too long, it enters a protection mode. Not to punish ā but to survive.
The nervous system stays on high alertš§ .Ā
The body slows down. And vitality pulls inwardš.
Little by little, it starts to feel like youāre fading⦠quietly.
One night, exhausted, she was scrolling through her phone when she came across a videoš±.
The specialist in the video explained why so many people feel trapped inside their own bodies ā and how the body lowers its own energy just to keep going.
Ā But the expert also showed howĀ one small daily signalĀ can gently remindĀ the body that itās safe to come back.
Ā
She tried it. Sarah tried it too. And slowly⦠the fog lifted. The heaviness softened. And the light ā the one they thought was gone ā began to return.
