We grow up learning to endure. We push through exhaustion, brush off irritability, and pretend sleepless nights, brain fog, and fleeting forgetfulness are just part of adult life. Saying we’re “fine” becomes second nature, even when something inside begins to shift. But the body isn’t subtle without reason. Its first signals—quiet, persistent, and easy to dismiss—often matter most.
It usually starts small. A fatigue that doesn’t align with your routine. Not the kind that vanishes after a night’s sleep, but a heavy, dragging exhaustion that makes every task harder. Your mind may blame stress, but deep down you sense it’s different. This fatigue lingers, staining your days.
