It’s funny how something left unsaid can haunt you louder than a full-blown argument. I’ve always thought that time would take care of the unanswered questions, but nope—anxiety from lack of closure has a mind of its own. Whether it’s a relationship that fizzled without explanation, a job opportunity that ghosted you after the final…
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…
My hands were still shaking even minutes after I ended the call. You know the kind — your voice quivers, your heart races, and afterward, you’re left staring at the wall wondering why that phone conversation wrecked your whole mood. I’ve been there more times than I’d like to admit. The worst part? It’s not…
It used to hit me the worst around 10:47 a.m. every day. Right after my second coffee, midway through a Zoom meeting, and nowhere near lunch. My heart would race. I’d forget to breathe properly.

Ever been slammed by anxiety out of nowhere? Like you’re just living your life—maybe in line at the grocery store or answering an email—and then boom, your heart starts racing, your breath gets shallow, and your mind spirals into a thousand “what ifs”?

Staying grounded during anxious conversations used to feel like trying to meditate in the middle of a thunderstorm. It’s not just awkward—it’s exhausting. But learning how to stay present when anxiety hits? Game-changer. Here’s how…

I’ve been there—staring at the ceiling, feeling my chest tighten, and wondering why my brain suddenly thinks 2:13 AM is the perfect time to relive every awkward moment I’ve ever had. If anxiety has ever…
Some days, it hits like a wave. Other days, it hums in the background like a low-grade headache. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably asked yourself more than once: why does my anxiety feel so different every single day? One morning you’re functioning just fine, the next you’re spiraling over a missed text message….
