I don't know if I should write this honestly, since it is my private life and thoughts and doubts that I have not told many people, but I feel like I need answers to questions that I was afraid or ashamed to ask, to close at once.
Since I was little, I have trouble adapting to "difficult" situations, at least those that my brain considers difficult.
Every time it happens (it is not as often as before, but I still want answers) the first thing that happens is that I freeze, my body does not respond to me for a few seconds and all my thoughts stop, and something I do not know if it is fear, adrenaline or both, get to me.
What follows is something strange in my opinion, my mind begins to fill with all these negative thoughts slowly causing my body (who is in a hurry to solve the problem, as if it were in automatic) to begin to give up along with it. It doesn't make sense, I know, but I can't think of how else to describe it, it's as if my mind and body were trapped in quicksand at the same time, and my mind gave up the moment it began to sink and try to make my body do the same.
By that point I'm either calming down with whatever comes to my mind, or I'm crying all I can. I have problems with anxiety apart from this, but this always had me in doubt, does anyone know of something like this? I have the theory that I am simply very sensitive and over dramatic, I don't know, I think I just never wanted to see it as something else, but now I am in doubt.
