  • You’re irritable and quick to lose your temper.
  • You’re prone to road rage or become extremely angry over little things.
  • You feel as though you’re constantly on edge, ready to “lose it” at the least little thing.
  • You feel listless, depressed, or emotionally numb.
  • Your sex drive is low.
  • You frequently have nightmares.
  • You often feel an overpowering urge to cry.
  • You have trouble concentrating or feel mentally foggy.
  • You suffer from free-floating anxiety.
  • You are easily startled.
  • You simply feel stressed all the time.
  • Everything seems like a chore.

As you can see, some of the symptoms are contradictory: can’t sleep/can’t stay
awake; always on edge/listless and depressed. That’s because adrenal dysfunction is a progressive condition that moves through successive phases, manifesting differently as the condition gets worse. The condition also shows up differently in different women, primarily as three main types.
