The UnknownConfusion
I can no longer tell what is a sign and what is just exhaustion speaking fluently
Dear Delyara, That confusion has become one of the hardest parts of daily life. Is the bad feeling about work real or am I burned out? Is the distance in the marriage serious or am I just emotionally thin? Do I need a new direction or two months of sleep? Is this intuition, trauma, hormones, grief, depression, age, or all of them layered into one blurred voice inside me? I don’t know. And because I don’t know, everything slows. Decisions take longer. Feelings become interpretation projects. I miss the version of myself who could move with more internal confidence, even when she was wrong. Now I spend too much energy reading myself instead of simply living from myself. It is exhausting. And lonely.
