Being you can feel heavy at times
You’re asked to stay productive and positive, care for others, keep up with endless tasks, and somehow still make space for yourself. It’s no wonder you feel exhausted.
Life becomes so full, so fast, or so demanding that you slowly disconnect from yourself. You move through your days on autopilot — same routines, same tasks — but something feels “off”. You feel flat, muted, or strangely absent, as though you’re watching your life rather than living it.
Even when things look fine on the surface, your energy drops. You feel restless, tense, unmotivated, but you keep going, and a quiet unease settles in. You wonder why you feel this way, and why the life you’re living no longer feels like it belongs to you. Over time, you slowly feel less like you.
And then comes the pressure to act normal, to hold it all together, to be who you think you should be. Your mind tells you to push through, but inside you feel heavy, low, or tense, like you’re not meeting your own expectations. You don’t feel like you anymore. Trying to be someone other than yourself is its own kind of exhaustion.
