Right after I finished an intense leg day at the gym last summer, I noticed something odd. Little specks, like translucent bugs or threads, started drifting across my vision. At first, I thought it was just sweat or maybe the lighting. But it didn’t go away. That was my first encounter with floaters after intense…
Starting a new job is stressful enough—but when you throw anxiety into the mix, it can feel downright paralyzing. I remember my first week at a new corporate role; my stomach would knot up before every team meeting, and even casual conversations with coworkers felt like high-stakes interviews. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone….
It crept up on me slowly. I didn’t even notice it at first—just skipped a few hangouts, dodged some calls, told myself I was “tired” or “busy.” Before I knew it, entire weekends would go by without talking to anyone.

A few months ago, while driving home at dusk, I noticed a faint dark curtain sliding down the corner of my left eye. I brushed it off. Maybe it was fatigue. Maybe just…
My first real encounter with cupping therapy wasn’t in a clinic—it was at a friend’s house. She had these circular bruises all over her back, and I remember thinking, “Did someone attack you with a hot coffee mug?” Turns out, she had been doing cupping for her lower back pain.
