What can be done about an overactive fight-flight reaction?
Yesterday was my first day back at work after 2 weeks vacation.
Unfortunately, like so many times before i get this awful anxious feeling that starts building,
and after a full day of work i feel ready to start a fight with someone.
Sleep suffers, my heart is thumping like crazy, relaxing feels impossible.
I know intuitively there's nothing to be afraid of, but put me in a place with alot of people moving about,
and slowly i'll be taken over by the anxiety. Very frustrating.
Besides making radical changes to my work situation, like going to work on a farm or something;
Would a beta-blocker be safe, like propranolol?
It's one of the few things left for me to try that doesn't seem too toxic.
Any experiences with either beta-blockers or dealing with an overactive reptilian brain?
