At the time I thought I was just broken. Turns out I was running on stress hormones as my primary fuel source. And the second the threat disappeared, my body crashed and sent me the bill.

If vacation is supposed to be rest, why do you come home feeling destroyed?

Let's unpack what's up with your hormones and how to fix it.
