Me too. My amygdala is on fire. Living in a constant state of Fight or Flight.

@Pitchblue
Constant state of Fight or Flight must be stressful.

@JerseyGal Extremely. I go from doctor to doctor explaining whats happening to me. I have chronic pain which has led to insomnia and explosive anxiety. All of the symptoms are side affects of the medication I'm on but the Doctors dismiss what I'm telling them and offer more drugs compounding the problem in my opinion.

I finally feel like I'm living vs existing, but the rest fits me perfectly. Especially the anxiety part (not even needing a reason) and the being exhausted deal. It takes a lot of effort to stay awake. I feel a break coming. It's been forever since I took one and I used to do them regularly. It's healthy.😉
