- Irritability, anger, or difficulty relaxing
- Negative shifts in mood or beliefs (guilt, shame, detachment)
- Sleep or concentration problems
How it can affect daily life

- Strain in relationships due to withdrawal, irritability, or emotional numbness
- Disrupted sleep leading to daytime fatigue and low focus
- Difficulty with work or school tasks that require concentration
