It’s as if your body is in fight or flight mode all the time. In one way this is biology doing it’s job and keeping you safe but on another this is exhausting, it wears you down and it adds to your other symptoms.
Because you are in fight mode, you might often feel an increased sense of unsafety and danger. This can often leave you on high alert and hypervigilant. You are easily startled, you may feel fear, afraid, always watching the environment for signs of danger that you are at risk. You might be watchful thinking that something bad will happen. You might be hyper sensitive. Sensitive to loud noises, a sense that someone is unhappy with you or any sense of danger.
Sounds exhausting doesn’t it? So many of the clients I see are feeling exhausted, drained and tired just by trying to live their life’s.
