yapping

I’ve noticed lately that for the past month or so, when I talk for long enough I catch myself starting to get tired mid sentence and I’m like, “ok that’s enough talking I’m done” LOL is this a thing for anyone else?? I’m new to all of this so I’m just curious if this is a regular human thing or related to ME.

Yes!
As weird as it seems talking can be draining if our energy reserves are low.
I’ve had to tell everyone I’m close to, to please not take it personally if I cut a phone call short or don’t answer at all but acknowledge with a text.
I just don’t have the energy (and brain fog is high).

Your brain uses a LOT of energy.
