It's completely abnormal. I get worried and bam. It's strikes before I can calm myself down. Like my cortisol or adrenaline is released all at once. I don't know what to do about it.
I would greatly appreciate it. I have read the same thing. I don't know if my adrenals are just that burnt out or what. It feels like an acid shock adrenaline or cortisol rush if I get the least bit worried. Like its being released all at once.
Just curious if anyone has had any experience with taking them. I have a pretty bad adrenaline rush when I experience anything that causes a stress reaction.
It is super intense. Most people just experience a butterfly sensation and calm down. This is intense butterfly followed with a huge rush of either adrenaline or cortisol. As if there is no level to the worry. Just extreme fear reaction. Is this a trigger?
When I get the least bit worried about something.. I get this severe adrenaline or cortisol rush. As if there is no longer a threshold. I'm not sure which it is? Does anyone experience this? It is very painful and frightening. If so.. Does this symptom subside? Does your level of internal...
Is it common for PTSD to refuse to accept the truth? Like it has done its part to make the mind so scared of the subject that any amount of proof of closure is automatically not accepted.. That seems to be the biggest problem right now.
I guess it just takes time. I don't need to fuel the fire. The blaze is enormous right now and I want to extinguish it. I'm constantly tired even though I get plenty of sleep each night. Hopefully my mind will some day let it go.
Welcome. Hope everything gets better. I experienced acute before a couple years before I got PTSD from a different event. It sucks but, no that it will go away soon. There is a big difference. I hope that can provide some comfort for you.
I think this would help tremendously. I need to practice it until it is second nature. I get caught up trying to convince my mind that there is nothing to worry about. It turns into a circular mental activity thing that gets worse. I have read up on self-help cbt as I don't have a lot of...
Its an obsessive irrational fear that I have an answer to. Its even confirmed that I have nothing to worry about. I still over think it to the point of what if and it creates a severe panic attack. They are more severe right now because my nerves don't have much of a threshold.
Thanks heidi for the advice. That is very helpful. I will try it. I am also struggling with intense irrational thoughts that consume me at times. They are incredibly dumb. How do I get my manipulate the situation to not fall into the thinking spiral. Specifically while its consuming.
Thanks for the kind words to all. My nerves have no threshold. Any attempt to function results in horrifying body pain. My adrenals are done. I can't even walk into the living room to help with a simple cable matter. I'm stuck in my room. 5 hours a day until it settles. Then I can leave...
I'm gonna have to try to process memories or something. Before the benzo withdrawal kicks in. It's the only thing that brings me down. The second I think 2mrw will be a different day, I wake up feeling horrible. I'm close to the edge. It's becoming to much to take.
I told my p-doc that I had suicidal thoughts or ideation. She asked if I had a plan and I said no because I don't. That was when it became a discussion instead of a committing scenario.
I don't think it is that. I have experienced this the whole time. I switched from kolonopin to Ativan. I take it at the same time every day. It's only been for 3 weeks.
I appreciate every word. Thank you.
I just don't understand the morning issue. Why it is so bad then. I'm shaking and jerking. My head feels sore all of the time. I wake up at noon and it feels like this until it subsides from a cocktail of Trileptal, Remeron, and Ativan. If I didn't have...
Thanks for the replies. Sometimes I feel like I don't have a choice. I get triggered and this awful feeling adrenaline or cortisol rush goes all over my body. Its mainly when I wake up. The next 4 hrs are hell until my meds kick it. It is uncontrollable when it happens. It hurts so bad...
