  1. Section 1. Case and Post-Mortem Analysis

    Case

    An IT professional under sustained high cognitive load and constant deadlines.

    Regimen:

    Sleep: 2–3 hours per day

    Days off: up to 4 per month

    Work sessions: long, no breaks

    Caffeine: regular use

    Symptoms:

    Episodes of loss of consciousness

    “Wobbly legs”, presyncope

    Panic attacks

    Declining memory and concentration

    Visual strain/deterioration

    ---

    Analysis (by systems)

    1. Nervous system (CNS + autonomic)

    Chronic sleep deprivation → regulatory overload.

    Disrupted sympathetic/parasympathetic balance

    Persistent “stress/survival” mode

    Adrenaline spikes without physical trigger → panic episodes

    Outcome: → panic disorder
    → cognitive deficits

    #sleepDeprivation #autonomicNervousSystem #stressResponse #panicAttacks #cognitiveDecline

    ---

    2. Cardiovascular system

    Sleep loss + stimulants → unstable heart rate and blood pressure.

    Rapid BP fluctuations

    Possible rhythm disturbances

    Outcome: → syncope
    → risk of cardiac arrhythmia

    #cardiovascular #syncope #arrhythmia #bloodPressure #heartRate

    ---

    3. Metabolic layer

    “No recovery” mode = systemic dysregulation.

    Glucose instability

    Fatigue, weakness, “wobbly” feeling

    #metabolism #fatigue #energyCrash #glucose

    ---

    4. Vision (as a trigger, not root cause)

    Continuous focal strain

    Dry eye syndrome

    Outcome: → Computer Vision Syndrome

    #vision #digitalEyeStrain #screenTime #eyeFatigue

    ---

    Causal chain

    Sleep deprivation (core)

    Autonomic dysregulation

    Stress/panic + BP instability

    Presyncope

    Loss of consciousness

    #rootCause #systemFailure #causeEffect

    ---

    Misinterpretation

    Hypothesis: “It’s caused by vision.”
    Fact: vision increases load on an already failing system; it’s not the root.

    #diagnostics #misattribution #rootCauseAnalysis

    ---

    Critical risks (if unchanged)

    More frequent syncope

    Consolidation of anxiety disorder

    Persistent cognitive decline

    Increased cardiac risk

    #riskAssessment #healthFailure #burnout

    ---

    Conclusion

    This is not a local issue (eyes/stress). It’s a systemic decompensation driven by chronic sleep deprivation.
    Symptoms are no longer early-stage; they are borderline.

  11. A young woman stopped me on the street and I instantly started having a social anxiety induced panic attack, she asked me where I got my boots and then told me, "they're fantastic" with a coy smile before continuing on. You see, me, random people talking to you isn't always bad news!

  16. CW: Mental Health, Therapy

    Did my second session of #EMDR today. It’s such a different mode of #therapy compared to #CBT or #TalkTherapy or #GroupTherapy I’ve done in the past.

    I’m very hopeful this will help resolve the emotional rollercoaster I’ve been on in adulthood and get back to living the life I want to live.

  22. Togetherness Is Overrated

    Think back on your most memorable road trip. Everyone else seems to love parties and gatherings. Love them. Feed off them. They say things like “the energy is amazing” and “you should come, it’ll be fun.” That sentence alone makes my shoulders tighten. Crowds are chaos with a soundtrack. Too many voices competing for dominance, too many eyes, too much unspoken pressure to perform being Normal and Social and Chill. I don’t get it. I never have. Standing in a packed room while […]

  23. CW: Mental Health

    Why is dealing with #depression and #anxiety and #PanicAttacks and #MentalHealth so exhausting?

    This isn’t my first rodeo. I’ve got my support system. I’m OK. Not posting for sympathy.

    I know that every time I’ve had a mental health “flare”, if you will, I come out better and better on the other side of it.

    But it’s just all-consuming at the most inopportune times; my goodness. Don’t isolate if you’re going through it. If anyone needs help finding a therapist I’m a pro. ❤️

  24. My mom wanted us to get groceries earlier today for her. I was already worried about it because I wasn’t very awake yet. I began getting more and more anxious while driving because I obviously didn’t want to get into an accident. When we actually got to the store I stayed in the car and tried to not have a panic attack. By the time Wren got back out with the food I was somewhat more awake so driving home was a little easier. My stepdad pulled me aside later and was asking if I’m okay & how I should let them help me. He was saying that the attacks are going to get worse as I get older if I don’t get help for them. I really do want therapy again but I’ve been putting it off for various reasons. I miss my therapist that I had for several years. I hope that she’s doing okay. I was supposed to get an autism assessment done where she works but by the time I was called about an appointment I had just moved to a new state. Part of me doesn’t want the assessment now because people will always treat someone who’s diagnosed with autism poorly. Not to mention that Trump is not helping with the ableism with the dumb things he’s said lately about being on the spectrum.
