Mental and Emotional Overwhelm
People are drowning in stress, anxiety, and demands that never stop.
What This Means
The pace of modern life, combined with economic stress and information overload, is pushing mental health systems and individual capacity past breaking points.
Why It Matters
When people are in survival mode, creativity, empathy, and collective problem-solving become impossible. We need people at their best, not their breaking point.
How It Feels
Like juggling chainsaws while the floor is on fire. Like your brain won't turn off. Like one more thing will shatter you completely.
