I often swing back and forth between two major phases in my life: days where I'd feel productive and hopeful, followed by days where I cave into feelings of dread and fatigue. During the latter phase, I'd find it difficult to find comfort in anything, even in activities that would normally fall under the category of "relaxation and self care" Rituals of unwinding, such as washing my face, lying in bed, painting, sleeping.. they would all suddenly feel so exhausting. The unrelenting traffic in my brain would render simple day to day tasks as suddenly overbearing, leaving me feeling like a wind-up toy with an incredibly short lifespan of power.
