For the longest time, I kept brushing off my persistent feelings of unease, assuming it was just part of a busy life. Turns out, the real culprit might’ve been something I barely thought about—vitamin D. It’s wild how this seemingly minor nutrient can quietly mess with your mental health. I didn’t connect the dots until…
I remember the first time I noticed them—those strange, drifting specs in my vision that seemed to dance when I moved my eyes. I blinked, rubbed, squinted. They didn’t go away. I thought I needed more sleep or less screen time. But nope. Turns out, I was joining the millions of people experiencing something called…
Not long ago, I noticed something strange happening every time I skipped a few glasses of water. I’d get irritable, my heart would race, and out of nowhere, this fog of anxious tension would roll in. At first, I thought I was just having one of those rough days, but the pattern was undeniable: the…
Ever stared at a screen for so long that your vision starts playing tricks on you? Yeah, me too. I remember one late night prepping slides for a client meeting — deadlines were brutal, and so was the glare from my laptop.

It’s one thing to go through glaucoma surgery—numbing drops, bright lights, recovery instructions—but what no one warned me about was the annoying little specks that started drifting across my vision days after the procedure. At first, I thought it was just dryness or post-op fog. Nope. Floaters. And I wasn’t alone—apparently, this is a lot…
If you’ve ever tossed and turned at 3 AM, staring at the ceiling while your heart races for no apparent reason, you’re not alone. I’ve been there—counting sheep, trying deep breathing, even rearranging my pillows in some desperate ritual. For years, I thought I just had trouble sleeping. But it wasn’t until a therapist gently…
I never thought a tiny bottle of lavender oil could change how I handle stress—until it did. You know that tight-chest, racing-mind, can’t-focus kind of anxiety? That was me. All the time.
