Hormonal imbalances and chronic stress often overlap in women, particularly during busy life stages such as motherhood, career demands or perimenopause.

Common symptoms include:

• Mood swings

• Anxiety or low mood

• Irritability

• Poor sleep

• Brain fog

• Irregular cycles

• PMS or PMDD

• Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
   

Chronic stress can disrupt cortisol rhythms, blood sugar stability and

reproductive hormone signalling, contributing to nervous system burnout.
 

What Is Nervous System Burnout?

Nervous system burnout occurs when prolonged stress pushes the body into a state of dysregulation.

You may feel:

• Wired but exhausted

• Overstimulated yet unmotivated

• Emotionally reactive

• Sensitive to noise or overwhelm

• Unable to “switch off”

This pattern is common in women with undiagnosed ADHD, hormonal shifts or long-term stress exposure.
