Every time you say “I’m just tired,” your brain receives an instruction not to look for energy, but to switch into power-saving mode. It literally begins to slow neural connections, reduce neurotransmitter production, and prepare for a kind of “hibernation” it may never fully wake from. 2. Fatigue is not a diagnosis - it’s a symptom. A symptom that you’re spending energy on what drains you instead of what restores you.
