What’s actually happening in your body right now.
Let me know if any of these sound familiar:
The physical shit:
✅ Sleep is a disaster (can’t fall asleep, can’t stay asleep, or wake up more exhausted than when you went to bed.)
✅ Constantly getting sick – it’s like your immune system just gave up.
✅ Headaches, digestive issues, muscle tension that won’t release no matter what you do.
✅ Your body feels like you’re wearing a weighted vest made of pure anxiety.
Emotional mess:
✅ Zero patience – you’re snapping at people you actually like.
✅ Numb and flat – you don’t feel joy anymore, you’re just surviving.
✅ Crying over absolutely nothing or feeling on the verge of tears constantly.
✅ Anxious about everything, even shit that used to feel easy.
Mental fog:
✅ Can’t focus – everything takes three times longer than it should.
✅ Making dumb mistakes you’d never normally make.
✅ Forgetting things, losing track of conversations mid-sentence.
✅ Decision fatigue so bad that choosing what to eat for lunch feels impossible.
Behavioural red flags:
✅ Avoiding everything, including the things you used to love.
✅ Cancelling plans because you just…can’t.
✅ Scrolling for literal hours because your brain is too fried to do anything else.
✅ Working more but accomplishing less (and feeling shit about it.)
If you checked more than three of these, you’re not “just a bit stressed,” you’re burnt the fuck out!
