Mentally Spicy: Life With an Overactive, Anxious Brain

Mentally Spicy sticker

There’s regular tired. And then there’s Mentally Spicy™.

You know the feeling, you’ve had two cups of coffee, a balanced breakfast (consisting of half a granola bar and a gummy vitamin), and you’re still one vague email away from spiraling into a full existential crisis.

Welcome to the club.

Being mentally spicy means your brain is always three tabs ahead, plotting dinner, replaying a weird conversation from 2009, and quietly panicking about whether your kid’s field trip form actually made it to school. You’re not “too much”, you’re just seasoned.

Let’s Talk Symptoms:

• An inner monologue that could win an Oscar.

• An anxious sweat just from opening your inbox.

• An unmatched ability to spiral and snack simultaneously.

• A firm belief that sarcasm is a coping strategy.

You’re not broken. You’re just working with a spicy little brain that never seems to clock out.

And listen, we get it. Life’s a lot. The group chats are popping off, the group projects (aka parenting, teaching, or surviving adulthood) don’t stop, and the only consistent thing is your to-do list… growing by the hour.

Why We Wear It Proud

At Unfiltered Goods, we turned “Mentally Spicy” into a sticker and a shirt, not to mock the chaos, but to honor it. Because let’s be real: we’re showing up anyway. Holding it together with iced coffee and duct tape. Laughing through the overstimulation. Giving main character energy, even while panic-Googling side effects of too much caffeine.

This isn’t about pretending to be fine. It’s about saying, “Yeah, I’m spicy. And still standing.”

So whether your brain is spicy, your memes are unhinged, or your calendar looks like a crime scene, we see you. You’re doing amazing, sweetie.

Stay spicy. Stay strong. And maybe have a third coffee, just for safety.
