Fight Or Flight
If you don't have anxiety
When you see danger your body goes into fight or flight mode
If you have anxiety
And you see danger your body doesn't know how to react
Most times you're not even in danger
You just start to overthink until you have a panic attack
Instead of going into fight or flight your body goes into panic mode
Your body starts to tense
You start to hyperventilate
You can't think straight
All you can think about is
Am I dying?
You can't slow down your breathing
Tears start filling your eyes
You're terrified at first because you don't know what's happening
But then you remember it's just a panic attack
You try to remember what they taught you to do in this situation but you can't remember
Eventually the panic attack is over
You think to yourself
Why can't I be normal?
