Why So Many People Feel Restless, Numb, and Done With Everything
There’s a shift happening.
You feel it too, don’t you?
It’s like you’re going through your day... working, cleaning, driving, doing the same routine you’ve done a thousand times... and suddenly you look around and think:
“There’s no way this is what life is supposed to be.”
That heaviness.
That irritation.
That weird, restless ache inside your chest.
That “I can’t keep doing this” feeling that comes out of nowhere.
Friend, listen to me:
You’re not broken.
You’re waking up.
We’ve been trained to call exhaustion “normal.”
We’ve been trained to call overwhelm “adulthood.”
We’ve been trained to call numbness “just life.”
But deep down, your spirit knows better.
Because God didn’t create you to just survive every day.
He didn’t design you for a life that feels like a never-ending loop of obligations and disappointment.
He didn’t call you to pour out until you have nothing left.
If your soul is screaming for something more… that’s not dysfunction.
That’s discernment.
You’re feeling it because the world has shifted
People are tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix.
People are anxious in a way deep breaths don’t touch.
People are numb in a way that self care doesn't fix.
Everyone feels like they’re “off,” but no one can explain why.
Here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud:
We’ve all been living inside a system that drains us, and we’re finally starting to notice.
The job.
The schedule.
The expectations.
The constant pressure to keep up, stay quiet, be good, be productive, be grateful, be small…
It’s like we’ve been on autopilot for years, and suddenly someone shook us awake.
**This isn’t depression.
This is the beginning of awareness.**
When your spirit starts to wake up, the first thing you feel is discomfort.
You start noticing the cracks.
You start questioning the routines.
You start seeing through the noise.
You start feeling a holy discontent... that deep knowing that God made you for more than clocking in and checking out.
It feels confusing at first.
Heavy & Emotional even.
But it’s actually the first step of breaking free.
Because the truth is… if you were truly asleep to it all?
You wouldn’t be uncomfortable.
You’d still be numb.
Your spirit is trying to tell you something:
“Pay attention.”
**Maybe nothing is wrong with you.
Maybe something is wrong with the world.**
Let that sit for a second.
We’ve been gaslit into believing burnout is our fault.
That if we were stronger or more organized or more positive, we’d magically feel okay.
No.
No amount of planners or meditation apps or “girlboss energy” can fix a system that was never built with your well-being in mind.
Of course you’re tired.
Of course you’re overwhelmed.
Of course you’re questioning everything.
You’re not malfunctioning...
you’re waking up from the illusion.
God is stirring people right now
This is happening everywhere.
More people are waking up to the fact that the way we’ve been living doesn’t align with truth, purpose, or freedom.
When God stirs you, He doesn’t whisper:
“Just hang in there, sweetie.”
No.
He shakes the ground beneath your feet so you can’t keep pretending you’re okay.
He brings the discomfort that forces you to grow.
He opens your eyes to the things you’ve been ignoring.
He puts that fire in your chest that says,
“You were made for more than this.”
If you’re reading this… your awakening has already started
And yes, it feels lonely at first.
Because you look around and it seems like everyone else is just fine living on repeat.
But trust me…
They feel it too, they're just afraid to admit it.
You’re not alone.
You’re not crazy.
You’re not dramatic.
You’re awake.
And once you wake up, you can’t unsee the truth.
Part 2 will go deeper into why this world feels so off, and how the system we live in was never meant to set you free.
Stay with me.
We’re just getting started.
