Is My Nervous System Dysregulated?
At Same Stars Wellness, we see it all the time: you're doing all the right things, but still feeling off. You’re tired but wired. You snap at loved ones—or completely shut down. Maybe your body feels like it’s buzzing with anxiety... or like it’s given up altogether.
These are all signs of a dysregulated nervous system—and no, you’re not imagining it.
What Is Nervous System Dysregulation?
Your nervous system is your body's command center. It controls how you process stress, safety, and connection. It regulates your “fight-or-flight” state, your “rest-and-digest” state, and your ability to return to balance after difficult experiences.
But when your system gets overwhelmed—by stress, trauma, illness, chronic pain, or burnout—it can get stuck. That “stuck” state is what we call nervous system dysregulation.
10 Common Signs of a Dysregulated Nervous System
You feel constantly anxious or on edge
You struggle to fall asleep—or sleep excessively
You overreact to minor stressors
You experience chronic pain, tightness, or muscle tension
You shut down or emotionally “numb out”
You have digestive issues, nausea, or food sensitivities
You feel easily overwhelmed by daily tasks
You have trouble focusing or staying present
You feel disconnected from your body
You swing between exhaustion and restlessness
Sound familiar? You're not alone—and support is available.
