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…
Ever tried to relax with your favorite essential oil diffusing in the background, only to find yourself distracted by those annoying floaters drifting across your vision? I’ve been there.
