@lowtoxhome: Not every symptom = emergency. In fact, chronic symptoms that persist and come and go often are from a nervous system thats highly sensitized and an amygdala thats overactive. And talking yourself out of doing fun stuff for the fear of facing a sensation is actually reinforcing a negative association. Doing fun stuff is the best way to contradict the sensation-symptom loop. Dance to your favorite music, go outside, enjoy time with loved ones and your brain will slowly learn that you are safe, and you don’t need to brace for impact anymore. #chronicillness #chronicpain #anxiety #nervoussystem #amygdala
