As women, we're handed a personality trait for every symptom so we'll stop asking questions. Light sleeper. Anxious. Short fuse. Slow to recover. Just how you're wired. Take a breath, try magnesium, you're fine.
Here's the reframe nobody offers: most of those aren't traits. They're the same dysregulated nervous system showing up in six different outfits. When the system underneath is stuck in fight-or-flight, it leaks into your sleep, your mood, your recovery, your patience, all of it. You've just been taught to name each leak separately and live with it.
A stuck setting isn't a life sentence. It's a setting. Which means it can move.
