Some days you wake up and feel… Nothing. Not tired. Not energized. Not excited. Just… blank. And that’s not laziness. It’s a message.

You didn’t do anything “hard” today. You got enough sleep. You ate. You drank water. And still — you feel drained.
You wake up tired. You have a list of things to do — but no desire to start. You keep blaming yourself. Calling yourself lazy.
You cancel plans last minute. Stop replying. Go silent for days. And people start asking — “What’s wrong?” “Why are you avoiding everyone?”
It’s not always obvious. Sometimes, your mental health doesn’t collapse in a moment. It fades. Quietly. One ignored emotion at a time.
You know what they did. You remember the lies. The distance. The manipulation. The way they made you question your own worth.
You cried over something small. You got overwhelmed by a tiny change. You snapped when you’re usually calm. And then you thought —
Healing doesn’t always come with big moments. Sometimes, it’s quiet. Invisible. Internal. And if you’ve ever felt like you’re doing the work but can’t see the progress —
You used to explain yourself. Every emotion. Every boundary. Every “no.” You’d write paragraphs trying to be understood.
They made you feel like loving you was a chore. Like your needs were a burden. Your emotions were too loud. Your love was “too intense.”
You love them. You still care. But lately — you feel… distant. From everyone. Even the people who matter most.
It feels like you’re falling apart. Like pieces of you are crumbling. Old emotions resurfacing. Memories stinging harder than they used to.
