Your Nervous System (IRL)

This is your body chilling. You feel okay being you, thinking clearly, and being around people. No alarms. No shutdown. Just steady.

Your body thinks something might pop off. Heart faster, brain loud, muscles tight. Helpful in danger — rough when it turns into anxiety.

You stay safe by not upsetting anyone. You read the room hard, say yes too much, and shrink yourself so nothing explodes.

This is when it’s been too much for too long. Your system hits the power button. Low energy, flat feelings — it’s protection, not weakness.
