Episode notes
Real fatigue arises from genuine exhaustion in the mind-body system due to illness, stress, or significant effort, requiring rest to recover. In contrast, fake fatigue continues even after recovery, leading to a state of inertia that doesn’t improve with rest. The antidote to fake fatigue is behavioral activation, emphasizing the need to take action rather than seeking more rest. Understanding the difference between fatigue that responds to rest and that which responds to action is crucial; feeling tired is valid, but the appropriate strategy varies. If rest doesn’t alleviate feelings of lethargy, it may indicate the need for active engagement instead.
