Break the Cycle: From Drama Highs to Dangerous Nods

Drama is a drug. This segment breaks down why conflict can feel like a high, how to spot when someone looks awake but isn’t (the “nod”), and the difference between true exhaustion and impairment. It’s not about shaming—it’s about safety, clarity, and protecting the people who rely on you.

What’s inside

Drama is a drug — fighting can deliver a dopamine hit; break the cycle before it breaks you.

Looks awake, isn’t — what “on the nod” means and why it’s dangerous.

Know the signs — nodding vs. tired: telltales you can recognize.

They rely on you — impairment risks for kids, pets, and elders.
Intent & fair use: Commentary and opinion for education and discussion. Please don’t harass or dox anyone.
