Fight or flight is mainly controlled by a part of our brain called the amygdala. Responsible for storing emotional memories it regulates chemicals being released into our brain and body at times of apparent danger. However when someone is suffering from anxiety the amygdala overworks leaving the person in a constant state of fight or flight. Normally when faced with a sudden threat the amygdala gets us prepared for action and when the danger has subsided the body will return to normal. In sufferers of high anxiety the amygdala appears 'stuck' in a danger response mode leaving the sufferer feeling constantly on edge and quite unwell. Believe me...not a nice place to be.

hiya g i know this place.... :( having struggled with ptsd, mindfulness is a very helpful path to take.
Yeah.........it works straight away. If you chose to take flight..that´s fine. That´s your inner 6th sense........yer probably kicking yerself for NOT fighting, but it was prolly the right decision. Trust yourself boy!!!!! You can re-enact scenes in your head all day long...waste of time....just put it aside.
