The Quiet Struggle
No One Sees
You wake up already bracing.
Before your feet hit the floor, your mind’s scanning for what might go wrong.
You handle everything — deadlines, people, emotions — and everyone thinks you’re fine.
But inside, it feels like your whole life depends on keeping it all together.
You’ve tried to slow down. You’ve promised yourself
you’d rest.
But the moment you try, your brain won’t stop spinning. Rest feels… unsafe.
You’re exhausted, but can’t stop. You crave peace,
but don’t trust it.
And the hardest part? You know you’re capable of more — if you could just breathe again.
You’ve read the books, done the therapy, meditated, manifested, journaled.
You’re self-aware enough to know what’s happening… but awareness hasn’t changed how your body feels.
You’re not broken.
You’re in survival mode — and your body has simply forgotten how to feel safe.
