Drained

😐

By Rene PetersPublished 5 months ago • 1 min read

I'm drained, mostly mentally.

I fight this battle daily.

I need a break

From the pains and aches

That trap me in my bed.

I'm stuck in my head.

I'm not even living,

Just barely existing.

    We need to get together and have a seance so we can raise the dead (us! And anyone else who feels similarly!) 😁 Yet I get this battle and I’m sorry you having that experience lately. Bite size chunks and then come back to when more energy. The idea that we think we can get everything done and do everything we want to do is just not possible, but I understand the challenge of being compassionate with oneself. good luck, Rene. 😊
