minus-squarefakeman_pretendname@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·21 days agoA few years back I was having recurring panic attacks, and my body’s “fight or flight” would kick off over the slightest thing, or nothing at all. At the time I was keeping a sort of “panic incident journal” to try and track any potential causes etc. This is one of my favourite entries: “I am oversensitive - a stair creaks and I am fully alert and prepared to defend myself from inanimate objects” Aside from that, I wouldn’t even know where to start with listing all the silly minor things that cause disproportionate increased anxiety in me.
