For years I was convinced every weird feeling in my body meant I was dying. Doctor visits, Google spirals at 3AM, panic attacks that felt like heart attacks… I’m still not “cured,” but here’s what I’ve learned along the way.
Lying awake at 2AM convinced something is seriously wrong with your body? That racing heart, random ache, or weird tingle that sends you straight to Google? I’ve been there. Here’s how I gently interrupt the spiral + the soft tools that actually help.

And the worst part?
You know you’re exhausted.
You know you need sleep.
But your mind won’t let you have it.
