You sit down to answer a quick message, then remember a bill you meant to pay, then notice a tab still open from earlier. None of these tasks are hard on their own, yet somehow your energy feels lower than it did an hour ago. The day hasn’t been dramatic, just scattered. That quiet drain…
You get to the end of the day and your body feels mostly fine, yet your mind seems oddly worn down. Nothing especially physical happened. No long walk, no heavy lifting, no late night. Still, thinking feels slower, decisions feel heavier, and even simple conversations require more effort than they should. This quiet mismatch is…
The house finally settles down, the notifications stop, and the room goes still — yet your mind seems to pick that exact moment to speed up.
