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? But when you’re living with anxiety, even the smallest decisions feel like you’re defusing a bomb. If…
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?

I’ll never forget the first time a migraine hit me so hard, I couldn’t even remember why I opened the fridge. My head was pounding, sure—but the fog? That was worse. It was like trying to think through oatmeal. If you’ve ever had a migraine that left you struggling to focus or feeling “off” mentally,…
