I have been a sufferer since 10 y/o. Really younger than that but there’s where I noticed it wasn’t normal
My question is (bc this is my biggest battle) what do y’all do to fight physical symptoms? “Fight or flight” I want to fight. I am tired of running but how do I fight?
Tonight my physical symptom are my arms burning. Is it a deadly rash? No. But my mind can’t comprehend that. Because anxiety is always almost in control (especially at night). How do you trust yourself to know your mind is playing tricks on you versus it’s REALLY something to worry over?

Your response is really helpful, I like the idea of me being able letting it run it’s course, though that’s my problem.. if I cant control it what is it going to do to me?
Hi dbeck, nice to meet you.I believe flight or fright serves a purpose.Its been known since the beginning of man...its whe it gets stuck in overdrive that there is an issue.None of us are doomed.There is always hope and we can use flight/fright as we learn to benefit and not harm.I didn't use to look at it as a blessing.Somethings we do need to know in our hearts..stop! go another way!Purpose?How can we make it a benefit.at one time in my life, I couldn't turn it off.Small baby steps got me from...the couch...to eventually step by step..out on my back porch and then a volunteer.It was another process in life.I had a physical therapist tell me...all things are physical because even mental issues start in the brain which is an organ....so treat yourself good, dont be so hard on yourself, surround by beauty..of that which YOU are....
dbeck hi I understand your words and deeply understand your hurt and confused thoughts I'm new to the group but your post really said so much reflecting on my own reasons that's over 10+ y/o .I hope we both find peace and answers to this problem. 🙏
