The physical symptoms during separation can hit harder than people expect. Certainly did for me. Fatigue that makes normal tasks feel impossible, chest tightness, stomach issues, flu-like aches without actually being sick. The other one we often hear about is heart chakra palpitations. Your body is responding to a disruption in your energetic connection.
Detox is a good way to put it. When we’re connected to our twin, there’s a constant energy exchange happening through what some describe as cords running between the heart chakras. Separation doesn’t sever that (though people new to the journey often expect it to) - it just makes the energy chaotic instead of flowing.
So your system is trying to adjust to something it wasn’t designed to handle alone. It can’t really.
A few weeks in is often when it peaks, honestly. The initial shock wears off and the body catches up to what the soul already knows. Please don’t ignore persistent symptoms, though - always worth ruling out anything medical first. But if doctors say you’re fine and you still feel wrecked, you’re not imagining it.
Be gentle with yourself right now.
