If you’ve ever found yourself lying awake at night wondering whether what you’re feeling is anxiety or stress, you’re not alone. I remember sitting in my car after a particularly exhausting workday, heart racing, palms sweaty, thinking, “Is this just stress… or something more?” It’s a question many of us wrestle with, especially when the…
You ever felt like your heart’s about to give out—but you’re told everything’s fine? Yeah, I’ve been there. Woke up one morning, chest tight, heart racing, and this looming sense that something was terribly wrong. Naturally, I thought I was having a heart attack. Turns out, it was anxiety. That moment sparked a deep dive…
I used to think anxiety was just “in your head.” Something you could breathe through, sleep off, or distract your way out of. Turns out, the body doesn’t quite work like that. After months of tightness in my chest, random dizziness, and even digestive issues, I finally connected the dots—it wasn’t a string of unrelated…
So, you’ve noticed your muscles twitching lately—randomly, subtly, sometimes just enough to make you pause and wonder what’s going on. If you’re like me, that curiosity can quickly turn into Googling symptoms at midnight, spiraling through worst-case scenarios.

But then, like clockwork, it faded the moment I stepped outside and distracted myself with a walk. That’s when it hit me—this wasn’t the flu…
Some of us don’t even realize how deep anxiety runs until we’ve spent a few minutes alone with our thoughts—and then wish we hadn’t. As an introvert myself, I can say it’s not always easy to explain the difference between just needing space and feeling like you’re drowning in it. But here’s the big question…
Last week, I stood in a grocery aisle frozen. Not from fear, but from something much sneakier — indecision. Do I get the brand I always buy, or the new one that’s on sale? It sounds trivial, right?

Ever felt like you’re floating outside your own life, watching the world pass by while you stand still? That’s exactly how anxiety makes you feel disconnected.
