When someone is asked how they are doing, the answer “I’m fine” is becoming less and less common. Perhaps because it’s getting harder to say something you no longer truly believe.
Not because people want to complain.
But because many people genuinely are not doing well.
And although they come from different backgrounds, different ages, different lives and different struggles—the hairdresser, the teacher, the truck driver, the entrepreneur, the retiree, the accountant, the energy therapist, the mother of two, the person searching for a partner, or the one who no longer knows whether to stay or leave—their words are often the same.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but by the evening I’m exhausted, as if I’ve been carrying stones all day.”
“I used to handle this easily. Now I just sit and stare at it.”
“Nothing special happened, yet I’m fed up.”
“Everything is fine, yet I don’t feel well.”
“It feels like everything around me has become tense.”
“I’m more impatient than I used to be.”
“It feels like too much is happening all at once.”
Many are struggling to hold back their tears.
And their life situations are not the same.
Yet the same sentences keep appearing again and again.
We manage. We endure. We survive. We push it aside. We swallow it. We wait it out. One more day. One more week. One more year.
It’s interesting that when we have a toothache, we go to the dentist.
If we break a leg, we ask for help.
But when we’ve felt for months that something isn’t right inside us, we tell ourselves:
“It will pass.”
And passing can happen in many different ways.
That uncomfortable, nagging feeling inside is not new.
Neither is the exhaustion.
Nor the uncertainty.
Nor survival itself.
You already know survival. You already know what it feels like to live with that discomfort.
Have you given healing the same chance?
