Your load got bigger. Your recovery didn't. That went on for a long time. Now your tank runs low and it stays low.
This isn't a weakness. It's math. When you spend more than you put back, every day, and for months, you run out. Anybody would.
Being tired is the part you can see. The bigger part is what it's doing to you internally. Small things feel huge. You read the same email four times. You know exactly what to do and you still can't start. You get short with people you love. Any of these sound familiar?
You don't fix this by pushing harder. Pushing harder is what got you here.
You fix it two ways at once. You take something off. You put something back. Both. One without the other will not hold.
That's what the next 14 days are for.
Plus the if-then card, the day by day schedule, the weekly check, and the three traps that undo it.
This plan is for being worn down and stretched thin. Some things need more than a plan. If you have felt flat, hopeless, or numb for more than two weeks, or you are having thoughts of hurting yourself, talk to a doctor or a licensed counselor. In the US you can call or text 988 any time.
