Why does your brain shut down under stress?

When the brain senses too much danger or pressure, it goes into “dragon den” mode, hiding to stay safe. It’s not lazy, it’s trying not to break.

100

What hides under anger or silence?

Hurt, fear, or sadness often wear an anger cloak. It’s easier to roar like a dragon than admit you’re wounded.


100

What drains stamina fast?

Talking to people, going to school, or pretending to be okay can drain stamina like a slow leak from your health bar.


100

What is masking?

Masking is acting like a chill NPC while your player character is screaming inside. It helps you blend in, but it’s exhausting.


100

True or False: Depression shrinks parts of the brain?

True. Like a frost spell on your hippocampus (memory zone). But the brain is flexible — it can regrow with rest, support, and care.

100

You technically shed your ___ every month.

Skin!

200

What part burns out when overloaded?

The prefrontal cortex, your brain’s quest planner, gets fogged when you’ve been casting too many spells without rest.

200

Why say “I’m fine” when you’re not?

“I’m fine” is like an invisibility spell — it hides you from questions when you don’t feel safe showing the truth.


200

What’s a tiny task that counts?

Drinking water, putting on clean socks, or petting your cat = low XP gains that still move your character forward.


200

Why joke when hurting?

Humor is a spell to deflect pain. It makes people laugh instead of look too closely at your sadness meter.


200

What does sleep really do?

Sleep is like a brain blacksmith. It repairs armor, clears fog, saves progress, and reboots your magic stats.

200

True or False: Crows can remember people's faces

True

300

What is executive function?

It’s like your mental inventory manager: planning, organizing, switching tasks. When it’s glitching, even “easy” quests feel like boss fights.

300

How do feelings show up in the body?

Emotions sneak into your muscles, chest, or stomach like invisible potions — heavy, tight, buzzy, or frozen.

300

Why is brushing your teeth a boss fight?

When your brain’s energy is at 1 HP, even small chores feel like dragons. Depression makes your to-do list feel 10 levels higher.


300

What’s your NPC face?

No wrong answer.

Could be “blank face,” “robot mode,” or “shrug and nod” — default skins to avoid detection.


300

What part helps with threat detection?

The amygdala is your danger alarm. When overactive, it turns every rustle into a dragon. The prefrontal cortex is supposed to keep it chill.

300

True or False: You can't tickle yourself

True

400

What does dopamine do?

Dopamine is your brain’s quest reward signal. It says “Nice job, keep going!” Depression makes the reward chest harder to find

400

What is freeze mode?

It’s like your body hitting pause. Your brain says “Too much! Don’t move!” to stay safe, especially when fight or flight feels too risky.

400

Burnout vs. lazy?

Burnout is when your brain’s fire runs out. Laziness is not caring. Burnout is caring too much for too long without rest.

400

Phrase you use to dodge questions?

Maybe “I’m tired.” “It’s whatever.” “I don’t care.” — all useful cloaking spells.


400

Why is routine magic?

Routines are grounding spells. They calm your nervous system, reduce brain lag, and make your day less overwhelming.

400

True or False: Bones are weaker than steel

False!

500

What spell does depression cast on memory and focus?

It casts “Fog of Forgetfulness”, slowing your brain’s ability to hold info, pay attention, or remember what you care about.

500

What happens when you bottle feelings?

Bottled feelings turn into exploding potions. If you don’t open the cork gently, the bottle bursts later, often in weird or unexpected ways.

500

What happens when you keep masking?

Constant masking drains stamina like armor you never take off. Eventually, you collapse from the weight.


Talking about what's happening and saying "no, I cannot take that on right now" can help. 

500

What happens when you fake it too long?

Eventually, your mask cracks. Your character glitches. Pretending too long makes it harder to even remember what you feel like.

500

How can a smart brain gaslight itself?

Gifted brains use logic like a sword — but sometimes it turns inward. “I don’t have it that bad” or “I should be fine” ignores what you’re actually feeling.

In Japan there is a museum entirely of ____.

Rocks!
