Hypothyroidism

Something inside you is slowing down. Not suddenly, not dramatically — more like a generator quietly and inconspicuously reducing its output. You wake up in the morning already tired. You are cold where others are turning off the heating. You gain weight without eating more. Your skin becomes dry, your hair thin, your thoughts sluggish. And the worst part: you no longer recognise yourself. There was once a woman, a man, a person with momentum, with a voice, with temperament — and now there is someone who can barely get out of bed in the morning and is glad to have survived the day by evening.
