The Overexposure Collapse
THE OVEREXPOSURE COLLAPSE
This occurs when the body finally snaps after eating one food:
twice a day for four months.
The food becomes associated with:
- burnout
- stress
- overwork
- exhaustion
- survival mode
- sadness
- finals week
- grief
The body eventually says:
“We cannot continue like this.”
This frequently happens to:
- instant ramen
- granola bars
- frozen meals
- protein shakes
- buttered noodles
- cereal
- rotisserie chicken
Especially during college.
Especially during depressive episodes.
Especially during autistic same-food eras where the nervous system accidentally speedruns sensory fatigue.
