It's so sad.

People are in a relationship that's been dead for years.

And the thought of seeing their partner makes them exhausted.

That's your brain telling you something.

Something's off.

Something's off.

And it's not that this relationship has to end.

You don't have to break up with the person, but you better damn well make a different relationship with them.

Yes.

So you don't have to jump to the conclusions that your mind says, but if you're feeling tired, instead of just taking a supplement and powering through, ask yourself, why am I feeling tired?

Spend more time with awareness.

Then you'll know how to move the box a little bit, and then life becomes easy.

You don't have to work so hard.

I don't want to categorize things the wrong way, I guess.

So if something is going on in your mind and possibly in your body that impairs your function, then we call it a mental illness.

Okay.

So if it interferes with your ability to work, if it interferes with your ability to do school, if it interferes with your relationships, if it interferes with your physical health, if it interferes with your mental health, if your anxiety is so bad that you can't go see your friends.

You can't leave the house.

Well, it's not that it can't – it's impairment to function.

Okay.
