Does your body feel constantly on edge, even when nothing seems wrong? An overwhelmed nervous system can affect how you think, feel, sleep, and respond to everyday stress.
In this episode of Me and My Anxiety, I explore 10 signs that your nervous system may be overwhelmed — from racing thoughts and tension to exhaustion and feeling unusually sensitive to stress.
You'll learn why these experiences can happen, how stress and anxiety may affect the body, and why noticing your own patterns can be a helpful first step.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- Common signs of an overwhelmed nervous system
- How stress can show up in your body and mind
- Why you might feel wired, tired, or on edge
- How to respond with more understanding and self-compassion
These signs can have different causes and aren't a diagnosis. If symptoms are new, severe, or persistent, please seek professional advice.
