Do you have constant noise in your head that leaves you feeling like a tangled yoyo string?
Maybe you had a panic attack last week right before a big presentation at work; or perhaps you find yourself carrying around a sense of doom even on objectively good days.
You may be chronically exhausted because your mind is a live wire that keeps you awake at night or you're battling tension headaches multiple times a week.
Perhaps you feel like you’re unraveling no matter what you do.
Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact in every facet of your life:
-
Short fuse: you keep losing your shit just because your partner loaded the dishwasher wrong... and it’s not cute.
-
Zero chill: not even Downton Abbey, your ultimate comfort show, isn't working it’s magic.
-
Workaholic: staying busy seems to keep the noise in your head at bay so you’ve been putting in extra hours at work. Great for your boss, not so much for your social life.
