@KatyElphinstone@mas.to I suddenly noticed, a couple of years ago that I was regularly responding to "Are you okay?" type questions, with, "I'm just tired."
But what I actually meant was, "I am deeply distressed, but I cannot find the energy or executive function to begin to verbalise my distress to you, even though I know you to be someone who would care about it. So, 'tired' it is."
