What do you do when you are freaking out from stress?

Congratulations on 2 years of progress. Its good that you are winning the battle. Did you follow a program?

No. Not as far as I'm aware. No programme.
(a friend I regularly messaged on here stuck by me)

Research the 'fight/flight' response.
(so I knew what was happening)

Find a way to interrupt the process or nip it in the bud in the early stages.
(humour & repetitive acronyms helped)

Change some perceptions.

Accept, not fight, some feelings.

Trust yourself.


There's more detail involved than the above.
I wasn't expecting your question and so haven't prepared a worthy answer :)
(sorry :) )
 
acute stress / anxiety attack:

- dark, quiet room, box breathing
- systematically make a cup of coffee & drink this sitting at a table (conditioned routine)
- go for a run with headset & specific playlist on loud (especially anger/anxiety)

for decreasing levels of severity.....:grin:
