Anita,

No one has ever described anxiety and stress like you do and I really enjoyed reading how you broke down the process in your post. It makes me think that maybe I will be able to fix this.  That my body is just reacting to things differently than some people.  I think my body has been used to the fight or flight for years with my ex husband and it’s easy for my body to go back in that mode.

I have an appointment this Thursday and I’m going to work on techniques to use at work whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, foggy brain, etc.  I’m not sure how much to share yet with my manager at work.  Just trying to stay focused and hopeful with things.  I want to learn to recognize when I’m going to flight mode and how to bring it back.

I do hope you are feeling better and I will talk to you soon.

Lindsey
