Fatigue
Family: Rejection and shutdown
How it differs from similar states
I have enough energy to rest and continue; it's not indifference to everything.
How this can feel in the body
Heaviness in your limbs, heavy eyelids—your body is asking you to stop.
It usually comes up when
Excessive workload, lack of sleep, prolonged stress.
What this might be pointing to
A signal of depleted resources; a need for recovery—not a social emotion.
What you can do with this
Fatigue is not weakness; it's the receipt for energy you've already spent. The smallest restorative step: 20 minutes without screens, or simply lie down and do nothing without feeling guilty.
Where the name comes from
Fatigue is your body's and mind's internal signal: your resources are depleted, and you need a pause.
Not quite it?
Closest by feel — the same ones the compass would show.
Two minutes, and you will see whether this is really it
