If you’ve ever had pain, insomnia, fatigue, or d If you’ve ever had pain, insomnia, fatigue, or digestive issues that no one could explain—this is why I won’t shut up about the brain.

We’ve been taught to look everywhere but the nervous system. But when you understand how your brain protects you (sometimes in the most uncomfortable ways), healing finally starts to make sense.

I talk about this because it changes lives. And I’ll happily keep talking until people stop being dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told it’s all in their head.

🧠✨ Curious about brain-first healing? Let’s talk.

Let’s talk about what insomnia really looks like Let’s talk about what insomnia really looks like.

It’s not just “not sleeping.”
It’s the overthinking. The tossing and turning.
The 3 AM ceiling-staring, mind-racing, body-wired kind of night.

It’s anxiety before bed and brain fog all day.
And no—going to bed earlier doesn’t fix it.

If you know this feeling, you’re not alone.
Sleep struggles go deeper than most people realize.

Struggling with insomnia? Try these 3 small shifts:

🌙 Can’t sleep after 20–30 minutes? Get out of bed and do something calming until you feel drowsy again.

🕯️ Create a simple wind-down ritual—your body needs a heads-up that sleep is coming.

🧠 Don’t force it. Rest without sleep still helps your nervous system.

🧡 Follow @dc.metro.therapy for more real talk and support around insomnia and sleep anxiety.

We’ve all done it. You’re lying in bed, try We’ve all done it. You’re lying in bed, trying to unwind…And suddenly you’re deep in a comment thread about the collapse of civilization.

It feels like you’re decompressing. But your brain? It’s getting the message: “We’re in danger, stay alert!”

And that’s the last thing your nervous system needs before sleep.

If you’re tired but wired, anxious but exhausted—your scroll habit might be why.

Try trading doomscrolling for: a brain dump a few pages of fiction literally any activity that doesn’t involve existential dread

Save this for your future self or tag your favorite bedtime scroller—we all have one.

Do you ever feel like no one believes you? Like y Do you ever feel like no one believes you?

Like your pain must be exaggerated, or that it’s all in your head?

You’re not making it up.
And you’re not alone.

When your pain is dismissed or questioned, it doesn’t just hurt emotionally—it can actually make the physical pain worse. Because your brain registers that invalidation as a threat.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, doubted, or told to just “push through it,” this blog is for you.

You deserve to feel believed.
And you deserve real answers.
