With the stress hormones high, there is a false sense of urgency when we have a dysregulated nervous system. The emotions feel heightened, and we are always anxious. It also has a deep impact on our physical health. "In real life, that feels like feeling on edge all the time, ready to blow up at the slightest inconvenience, needing things to be done immediately and feeling worried/anxious when they are not," wrote Israa Nasir as she explained the signs of a dysregulated nervous system.
