Something’s off
Something’s off.
I’ve been feeling weird lately—emotionally and physically. Not like a huge breakdown or anything, just a general heaviness. I’ve been sad and tired, even when I’ve had enough sleep. It feels like my body is reacting to something, but I don’t know what.
Last week I woke up with a swollen finger. No idea why. I didn’t hit it or injure it or anything. It just started hurting, and I can’t grip things properly with my right hand now. Even holding a cup is painful. I can’t grip properly. The pain hasn’t gone away.
On top of that, my atopic dermatitis has been worse. My fingers are extremely dry, no matter how often I use hand cream. The skin is cracking and even bleeding in some spots. It stings when I wash my hands, and I catch myself scratching even when I know it’ll just make things worse.
I don’t know what’s going on. It could be stress or something else entirely. But it’s frustrating to not feel like myself. I just want things to calm down—inside and out.
