I finally admitted that the tiredness was not just tiredness anymore

Dear Delyara, For months I called it a busy phase. Work, children, life, age, weather, hormones, not enough sleep — I had a whole list of respectable explanations ready every time my body asked for help in a voice I didn’t want to hear properly. Then last week I had that moment at the stairs where your legs feel heavier than the situation deserves and you know, privately, that you have gone beyond ordinary tired. So I booked the blood test, went to the appointment, and told the truth without dressing it up. The result is not the whole story yet. But the honesty was the start of better care. I know that much now.
