Whether you live with chronic illness or not, you may know this feeling:
Not sadness.
Not laziness.
Not even depression necessarily.
Just… apathy.
Tasks pile up.
Appointments don’t get made.
Texts go unanswered.
Things go wrong and somehow you just don’t have the emotional energy to react anymore.
In this video, I’m talking about chronic illness apathy:
✨why it happens
✨what’s happening in the nervous system
✨why survival mode changes motivation
✨and gentle ways to work WITH your brain instead of against it
If you’ve ever thought: “Why can’t I just make myself care?”
…this video is for you ♥️
