when nothing happened, but you still feel heavy

u can wake up feeling heavy w literally zero explanation. nothing went wrong yesterday. u slept ok-ish. and still — there's this lead-in-the-chest thing that doesn't match the data. so u start grilling urself for "no reason" feelings and that makes it worse 😮‍💨

feeling emotionally tired for no reason almost always has a reason — it's just one that's not loud or recent. a week of small unprocessed stuff. a thing u've been bracing for. hormones. weather. a tab ur brain left open in the background. ur body adds the bill up later.

u don't have to figure out the cause to deserve rest. give urself the soft day u'd give a friend who texted u feeling like this. lower the lighting. lower the to-do list. let the heavy do its thing 🫂
