I woke up at 3am with my brain racing so fast I almost thought a panic attack was coming back. In this episode, I trace exactly how it happened — a week of scrolling for fun during the World Cup — and what it taught me about the difference between entertainment and overload.

We talk about:

• Why social media can speed up your mind even when you're not comparing yourself to anyone
• The "corridor of doors" tool for when you feel mentally stuck
• How to talk yourself down at 3am using breath and self-cuddling
• Why the real question isn't what's in your mind, but whether you even know it's there

If you've ever laid awake with your thoughts on fast-forward, this one's for you.
