Why Everyone Feels Overstimulated Right Now
If you constantly feel anxious, emotionally drained, irritated, exhausted, or mentally “stuck on,” your nervous system may be overloaded.
Modern life keeps the body in a constant state of stimulation:
- nonstop notifications
- stress from work
- poor sleep
- processed foods

Over time, your body can become trapped in survival mode — also known as the fight-or-flight response.
