Questions people ask

What does a dysregulated nervous system feel like?

Usually not like anxiety in the obvious sense. More like being unable to fully land anywhere, relief when plans cancel, tightness that does not correspond to any current threat, or a heaviness that sleep does not touch. Your body is not failing; it is running a specific pattern to get a specific need met.

How long does this quiz take?

Seven questions, about two minutes. Free and immediate — deliberately short, because someone reading this may not have the capacity for fourteen.

What will my result tell me?

Which of four states your system is currently in — depleted, seeking stability, holding emotion, or overloaded and disconnected — and what that state is actually asking for. The four need genuinely different things, which is why general advice to rest more often misses.

Is this a medical or mental health assessment?

No. It names a pattern, never a person, and it does not diagnose or treat anything. If what you are carrying is heavy or persistent, a doctor or therapist is the right door and this is not a substitute for one.

Why do I feel exhausted even when I've rested?

Because rest and regulation are not the same thing. Sleep addresses one kind of depletion; a system stuck in vigilance can lie down for nine hours and never actually stand down. That is the gap this quiz is trying to name for you.
