Back pain isn’t just a physical nuisance—it has a sneaky way of creeping into your mind too. I used to shrug off my persistent lower back aches as nothing more than poor posture from sitting too long at my desk. But over time, that nagging discomfort started messing with my sleep, my energy, and—without realizing…
I used to think anxiety was just occasional nerves before big events. You know, like job interviews or public speaking.

If you’ve ever had a moment where your mind spiraled into a terrifying scenario over something small—a missed call, a headache, a delay in a text reply—you’re not alone.
