I don’t always know if I’m tired or emotionally full

Dear Delyara, Some days I can’t separate them properly. Am I low because I need sleep? Because I need less noise? Because I need tenderness? Because I’m carrying something unspoken? Because my body hurts? Because work was depleting? Because I have become too reachable by everyone? Because I miss something I haven’t named? By the time I start untangling it, I am often already halfway into behaving from it. That confusion is exhausting in itself. Not knowing what type of care would actually help means I often end up offering myself the wrong kind and then feeling worse when it doesn’t work.
