Imagine you’re at home. You’re just sitting scrolling td and flipping channels trying to unwind after work. Suddenly, out of nowhere, your brain and entire body start reacting like you’re being hunted for sport. You have no idea where that fear came from. It doesn’t make any sense. You know that no one is out to get you. Yet, your brain is telling you to hide because “they’re coming” and if anyone sees you, you’ll be brutally murdered.
You just want to go grab a sandwich from the fridge, but your wife or your roommate or your friend is in there, and your brain is telling you they can’t see you either. No matter how irrational the fear is, and how much you try to internally explain it away to your brain, the physical feeling of intense fear and anxiety simply won’t stop, like an unending panic attack. So, you try to distract yourself until it goes away, and it eventually does…for now.
The fact that it’s all irrational and in your head makes it actually worse. That means there’s something wrong with your body that you cannot control but rather controls you. Doctors tell you that it’s all in your head (no shitte), but all they can do is give you drugs that replaces that problem with a different one.
