VIGILIA

Too Tired to Keep Going

You have kept going for a long time. You are still going. It has stopped feeling like strength and started feeling like there was never a choice.

What is usually behind it

  • Duration — most exhaustion in this audience is not from one hard year but from many ordinary ones
  • Carrying something that has no end date attached to it
  • Being praised for endurance, which quietly makes stopping unavailable
  • Depression, which presents exactly like this and is a medical matter, not a character one — worth saying to a doctor

These are common states, not a diagnosis. If something here is affecting your health, your sleep or your safety, please speak to a doctor or a qualified professional where you live.
