Psychology shows that when a woman endures prolonged stress and instability, her body adapts to survival mode often without her even realizing it until she's completely exhausted. Mentally emotionally, and physically.
She remains alert, tense, and guarded, always bracing for the next disruption. Even in calm moments, relaxation feels foreign - unsafe. Not because she's 'dramatic' or 'too sensitive.' but because her nervous svstem has forgotten what true safety feels like.
Years of disappointment. Years of bearing burdens alone. Years of smiling while shattered inside. It changes you. You stop trusting quiet days. You question consistencv. Kindness makes vou wary because you've learned that love often comes with strings, silence means punishment, and peace can shatter without warning.
So no, she isn't 'moody' or 'too much.' She isn't overreacting. Her body is stuck in fight-or-flight. Her heart is weary. Her spirit is exhausted from years of self-protection, to the point where being held truly held, without fear feels like a distant memory. If you want to love a woman like this? Be safe. Be steady. Be soft.
Don't give her more reasons to question her worth. Don't punish her for needinc comfort. Don't make her believe her pain makes her unlovable She doesn't need perfection; she needs patience.
Healing doesn't begin when life gets quiet.
It begins when life stays safe, And too many women are still waiting for that safety to arrive.
