If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably brushed off signs of exhaustion thinking, “I’m just a bit tired,” or “I’ll rest after this project.” But what if I told you that pushing too hard isn’t just wearing out your body—but your mental health too? Overexertion isn’t a badge of honor; it can be the spark…
Ever been out at night, maybe walking past a flashing neon sign or scrolling through your phone near a flickering lamp—and suddenly these weird shadowy blobs or stringy specs start floating in your vision? It’s like they appear out of nowhere and vanish as quickly as they came. You blink. You squint. You look again….
You’re sitting on the couch, trying to cool off after a heated argument. Your heart’s still racing, your hands are a little shaky, and suddenly—there they are. Little squiggles, dots, or transparent threads drifting across your vision. If you’ve ever noticed floaters seen after a loud argument or panic, you’re not imagining things. I’ve been…
