Is everything difficult, or is it just me?
summary
Catalogue of stressors mapped A–Z and concrete fixes: explains how the autonomic nervous system floods the body with cortisol, cites WHO’s ~5% global depression estimate, and links long-term activation to burnout and physical illness. Offers repeatable tools — paced 7‑7‑7 breathing (watch vibration or timer), five‑sense grounding, a weekly two‑hour activity grid with 1–10 enjoyment/value scores, nature breaks (40s window study) and therapy/medication as evidence‑backed options — plus practical boundary tactics like “do only paid work” and scheduled rest.
