← All health goalsStress and mood

Always on. Never off.

Wired but tired, short on patience, and finding it hard to switch off. Long-running stress changes how your body works, and it deserves more than being told to relax.

Free. A doctor reviews it within 24 hours. You only pay if you go ahead.

Sound familiar?

Most people have quietly adjusted around it.

  • Wired at night and flat in the morning
  • Shorter fuse than you used to have
  • Hard to switch off, even on holidays
  • Brain fog when you need to be sharp
  • Sleep, appetite or drive that's shifted
  • Getting through the week rather than enjoying it

If you're struggling, your GP is a good first call, and Lifeline is there any time on 13 11 14. If you're in danger, call 000.

What a doctor looks at

It's a symptom, not a diagnosis. These are some of the patterns behind it.

1

Your stress hormones

Your body's stress system is built for short bursts. Running it all day, every day, changes sleep, energy and mood.

2

Sleep debt

Poor sleep and stress feed each other. Breaking that loop is often where things start to improve.

3

Blood sugar and fuel

Skipped meals and big swings in blood sugar can feel a lot like anxiety or a crash in mood.

4

Markers worth checking

Thyroid, iron, vitamin D and hormone levels can all affect how you feel day to day.

The next step

A detailed assessment, read by a doctor.

Your doctor needs the real picture, not a general sense of feeling run down. The assessment covers the following.

  • How you've been feeling, and for how long
  • Sleep, workload and what's on your plate
  • Any care you already have in place
  • Your current health and medications

No cost to submit or have it reviewed. Completing it doesn't guarantee any particular treatment. A doctor decides what's appropriate for you.

Before you pay anything, you receive
  • A doctor-reviewed summary of your situation
  • What your doctor recommends, and why
  • Nutrition, sleep and routine guidance
  • Safety checks against your health and medications
  • A follow-up plan
  • Clear, itemised pricing

Reviewed by a second, independent doctor before anything goes ahead.
