When you blame hormones to avoid a decision
There is a very specific fatigue that lifts the day after you finally tell the truth. Watch for it.
If you have been exhausted for a year and your labs are clean, consider the possibility that your body is not sick. It is refusing.
Refusing the job you keep saying you will leave next quarter. Refusing the relationship you have decided about but not yet acted on. Refusing the friendship that only takes.
Fatigue is one of the most sophisticated protests the body has. It disables you from continuing the thing you keep swearing you will change.
You will know it was this and not chemistry when you make the decision and the fatigue lifts a week later. It happens more often than the medical model wants to admit.
