If you’ve been feeling more alone lately, even when your life looks perfectly fine from the outside, you’re not imagining it. And you’re definitely not the only one.
Have you ever looked in the mirror and noticed your face just looks… different? Maybe your skin seems duller, your eyes look puffier, or the shape of your face has subtly shifted.

I drank four cups of coffee a day and still felt exhausted by 2pm. Over the years, I experienced chronic fatigue on a daily basis.
