Nervous System Dysregulation Check-In

Is your body stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn?

Based on: A somatic self-check informed by polyvagal ideas (fight / flight / freeze / fawn states). A reflection tool, not a clinical or medical measure.

This is a check-in on how regulated your body has felt lately, not a medical test. Answer based on the past couple of weeks. Nothing you enter is saved or linked to you.

This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Results are for self-reflection only. Only a licensed professional can diagnose a condition.

01I feel "wired but tired" — exhausted, yet unable to actually relax.
02My body feels tense or on guard even when nothing is wrong.
03I go numb or shut down when things get overwhelming.
04I startle easily or feel jumpy.
05I swing between feeling anxious and feeling flat or checked-out.
06My heart races or my stomach knots in ordinary situations.
07Once I'm upset, I find it very hard to calm back down.
08I people-please or over-accommodate to feel safe.
09I feel disconnected from my body or surroundings at times.
10Small stressors trigger a physical reaction that feels too big.
11My body won't settle enough for me to fall or stay asleep.
12I carry a constant low-level sense of dread or unease.
13Rest doesn't actually leave me feeling restored.
14I clench my jaw, shoulders, or fists without noticing.
15I move between overdrive and total shutdown with little in between.
