7 Signs Your Nervous System Is Dysregulated (And How to Heal It Naturally)
You’re not “too sensitive.” Your nervous system is just asking for help.
If you’ve ever found yourself crying over something small, feeling emotionally hijacked out of nowhere, or unable to sit still even when you’re exhausted—you’re not broken.
You’re likely dysregulated.
And in today’s chronically overstimulated world, most people are. But because we’re never taught how to care for our nervous system, the signs often go unrecognized or get labeled as weakness, anxiety, or "just being dramatic."
Let’s change that.
Here are 7 powerful (and research-backed) signs your nervous system is dysregulated—and how to begin rewiring it naturally with daily rituals and nervous system support tools like herbal adaptogens.
1. You overreact—or underreact—to everyday stress.
Maybe a single text sets you off. Or you shut down when someone confronts you. This is your brain in survival mode.
Your amygdala (your brain’s fear center) becomes hyper-alert when you’re dysregulated, leading to fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses—even when you're not in real danger.
2. You can’t focus—even when you want to.
Dysregulation affects your prefrontal cortex (the part of your brain responsible for planning, focus, and follow-through). When cortisol is high and dopamine is low, your thoughts race, you forget what you were doing, and you feel scattered or foggy.
🧠 StillPoint was formulated with herbs like Mucuna (a natural dopamine precursor), Rhodiola, and Gotu Kola to support clarity without overstimulation.
3. You feel emotionally exhausted by mid-afternoon.
This isn’t just “being tired.” It’s your nervous system being tapped out. Chronic activation of your HPA axis (stress pathway) keeps your system stuck in “go mode” until you crash.
4. Your body holds tension you don’t even notice.
Jaw clenching. Shoulder tightness. Gut discomfort. This is somatic dysregulation—your body’s way of storing unresolved stress and emotional energy.
🌿 Adaptogens like Ashwagandha and Passionflower can gently relax your system and lower cortisol over time.
5. You struggle with sleep—even when you're exhausted.
A regulated system knows how to downshift at night. But if your nervous system is still revving at 9 PM, your body can’t enter rest mode.
Try:
Evening StillPoint + a slow breath ritual
Magnesium or GABA-rich foods
Removing blue light 1–2 hours before bed
6. You’re reactive in your relationships.
Unregulated = easily triggered. You may lash out, withdraw, or feel overwhelmed by simple conversations.
This is often a sign your ventral vagal tone (connected to your vagus nerve) needs strengthening.
🔁 Cold exposure, humming, gentle movement, and StillPoint’s neuro-calming herbs all support vagus nerve activation.
7. You have a hard time feeling safe in stillness.
If silence feels threatening… if you reach for your phone every 8 seconds… or if your brain feels too loud when you pause—it’s not just a bad habit. It’s a symptom.
The path to healing is in helping your system feel safe in the pause again.
How to Regulate Your Nervous System (Naturally)
Here’s what science and ancient wisdom both say works:
Daily breathwork: Even 1–2 minutes of box breathing lowers stress hormones
Adaptogenic herbs: Reishi, Rhodiola, Mucuna, and Albizia help stabilize mood and stress
Movement: Shaking, stretching, or walking regularly releases stored energy
Micro-rituals: A dropper of StillPoint. A hand on your heart. An intentional exhale.
You Deserve to Feel Calm, Clear, and Present
StillPoint was created as a response to chronic dysregulation. It's a tool to help you drop into presence, regulate your emotions, and feel anchored again—in just one dropperful a day.
Because you're not broken.
