Psychology says when people face constant stress and uncertainty, their bodies learn to live in survival mode. They stay alert, tense and exhausted. Always waiting for the next thing to go wrong. Even in moments of calm, their minds don't relax. It's not because they're overreacting, it's because their nervous system has forgotten what safety feels like.

The impact of chronic stress and uncertainty can be profound. It can affect every aspect of a person's life, from their relationships and work performance to their physical and mental health. The constant state of hypervigilance can lead to anxiety, depression, and even physical symptoms like chronic pain and fatigue.

When the body is in survival mode, it's hard to think clearly, to make rational decisions, and to feel calm. The nervous system is wired to respond to threats, and it can be challenging to calm it down. But it's not impossible. With the right support, self-care, and coping strategies, it's possible to start to heal and to learn to feel safe again.

If you're struggling with the effects of chronic stress and uncertainty, know that you're not alone. It's okay to feel overwhelmed, and it's okay to ask for help. Reaching out to a mental health professional or a trusted support system can be a crucial step in healing. They can help you develop coping strategies, work through your feelings, and learn to manage your stress response.
