Ever found yourself lying in bed, replaying every awkward conversation from the last five years? Yeah, me too. Nighttime overthinking is a relentless loop of “what ifs,” “should haves,” and imaginary scenarios that love to show up just when you want peace. For years, I assumed it was just part of being a night owl,…
Deadlines and I have never really gotten along. It’s not just the ticking clock — it’s the gnawing sense of pressure, the overthinking, and that sudden urge to reorganize my desk when a task is due. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Anxiety before deadlines is one of those things we all feel but rarely talk…
There’s something about exams that flips a switch in your brain, right? Even if you’ve studied like a champ, the minute you sit down and see that first question, boom—your heart starts racing, your palms get sweaty, and suddenly, everything you’ve memorized feels like it’s vanished into thin air.
