This reminds me of a time not too long ago when I started feeling really off. At first, I brushed it off as just a rough patch, but as days turned into weeks, I began to notice some signs that made me think, “Maybe this is something more.”
I’ve always been someone who enjoys hanging out with friends, playing video games, and just being active. But lately, I found myself withdrawing from those things, almost like I was in a bubble. I’d get invited to hang out and would think, “Yeah, sounds fun,” but then I’d find a million excuses not to go. I mean, what’s that about? It’s like I was just going through the motions.
Another sign that really hit home was the constant fatigue. I’d sleep for what felt like forever, but waking up was still such a struggle. I would look outside and see the sun shining, but inside I felt cloudy, you know? Sometimes I’d just lay in bed, scrolling through my phone, trying to convince myself that I wanted to get up and do something—anything!
Eating habits changed too. I used to really enjoy cooking, trying out new recipes. Now? It felt like such a chore. I found myself reaching for snacks instead of making proper meals. Honestly, I think I just didn’t have the energy to care about anything beyond basic survival.
The hardest part for me was recognizing these signs and knowing what to do about it. I started talking to a friend about how I was feeling, and it felt like a weight had been lifted. Just sharing my thoughts made a difference. It’s amazing how talking to someone who listens can start to clear the fog.
I guess I’m sharing this to say that if you’re feeling off, it’s okay to acknowledge it. We don’t have to go through this alone. Sometimes, just opening up can help us see a way forward. How about you? Have you noticed any signs in yourself or someone close to you? Let’s talk about it!
