Your Body Is Speaking
You feel empty. Not the emptiness after an exhausting day — but an emptiness that no meal fills, no conversation reaches, no distraction bridges. It is as if someone has pulled the plug. The world keeps turning, but you stand beside it and watch, unable to understand why nothing touches you anymore.
Depression is often explained as a chemical imbalance in the brain. And on one level that is true — neurotransmitters, receptors, signal pathways. But BodySignal asks further: why has your body changed this chemistry? What is it signalling to you by draining the colour from your perception and the energy from your limbs?
Perhaps this emptiness is not a malfunction in the system. Perhaps it is a space waiting to be filled with something real.
