#CommunityAMA How Sleep Changed My Face — and My Life For years I worked long hours, barely slept, and honestly… it showed. My skin got rough, I looked tired all the time, and I didn’t even realize how much it was aging me until one day I caught my reflection and thought, “Damn… this ain’t it.” So I made one simple change: I cut out some late-night time and made sleep a priority. And slowly, I started to see it — My face looked clearer. My eyes weren’t as heavy. My mood was different. My whole energy felt lighter. That’s when the idea of Nap Cap TV came to me. If sleep changed me, maybe I could help other people get there too. So now I create soft rain sounds, thunder ambience, sleep tracks — real stuff that helps your mind settle and your body heal. If you ever struggled with sleep, stress, anxiety, overthinking, or just want to feel human again… Ask me anything. I’ll tell you exactly what helped me and how it might help you too. — Nap Cap TV 🌙 #sleep #health #healing #relaxation #mentalhealth #selfcare #wellness #anxietyrelief #stressrelief #insomniahelp #soothing #rainvideos #sleepcommunity #napcaptv #mindbody #nighttimevibes #calm #rest #betterhealth #sleepguide

Verbal abuse in childhood can damage the adult brain 😔 I'm living proof

A new study looked at data from 20,687 adults in England and Wales between 2012 and 2024. It found that people who experienced verbal abuse as children were 1.64 times more likely to report poor mental well-being as adults. Those who went through physical abuse were 1.52 times more likely to struggle later in life, and for people who endured both verbal and physical abuse, the risk jumped to 2.15 times. I didn’t need a statistic to tell me this, but seeing the numbers made it hit harder. I recently learned what “reactive abuse” is and realized it was something my mom often did. It is when someone keeps provoking you until you finally react, then they point to your outburst as proof that you are unstable or abusive. It’s a common tool of emotional and verbal abusers, especially narcissists. For years I thought I had simply overreacted or been too sensitive. Now I see that what I went through has a name, and science shows the long shadow it can cast over mental health. Has anyone else had that moment where research finally explains why certain things in adulthood feel so heavy? #mentalhealth #emotionalabuse #childhoodtrauma #wellbeing #research #healing
