@beachesanddreams I completely agree with you. Polyvagal therapy is getting a lot of attention and it makes sense to me. There may be a lot of folks that do not agree with me, but I believe, truly, that when a person's body is in fight/flight mode for too long, it causes a the body to say "enough." There is research showing that a lot of autoimmune diseases and inflammatory issues come from trauma. I am not talking about PTSD but trauma from early childhood experiences and the survival skills that people acquire over the years. I also believe that genetics can be involved. I know that medications that target my dopamine receptors and SNRI's that target norepinephrine have helped me function. Anyway, I appreciate all of you. I do not feel as alone and this helps me every morning.
