If your body feels different than it used to—more sensitive, more tired, more reactive—you’re not imagining it. What doesn’t help is being told to “push through,” follow stricter routines, or ignore the signals your body is sending.

There comes a season when you start to feel different—but can’t quite explain why. You’re not sick. You’re not doing anything “wrong.” You just… don’t feel like yourself. Your sleep feels off. Your moods shift without warning. Your energy dips for no reason. Clothes fit differently, and foods you used to love suddenly feel heavy. It’s as if your body quietly decided to turn a corner and forgot to send you the memo.
