  I'M stuck in survival mode all time. I'm nervous all the time. A lot of times I feel anxious. Alcohol solves everything, next day anxiety hits me even harder. I have depressions and had a severe burn-out. I can't stand loud noices, violence on television, problems.

  I know a person who was suffering from being stuck in survival mode. She was constantly anxious, panic attacks, gaining weight. Nobody had a working solution, until accidentally they found a tumor in her adrenal gland during a CAT scan. It was dumping cortisol and making her stressed. And even then, the recommendation was to keep to tumor in. So she found a surgeon in Florida, who was an adrenal expert. Based on his advice they removed the tumor and all the horror of excess stress and panic attacks went away.<br><br>Apparently this was Cushing&apos;s syndrome, even if nobody diagnosed it.<br><br>If you&apos;re suffering from high levels of anxiety, there might be a physiological cause, that you can&apos;t treat with meditation, therapy etc. Check your adrenals, please! ♥

  Best to all of you who are still stuck in survival mode. &nbsp;There is hope... &nbsp;After 24 years of therapy, a deep spiritual practice, and restorative relationships, I can say now that I am truly happy, joyous &amp; free!

  Gosh I feel like I’m stuck in survival mode all the time!! Every small tasks feels like a marathon, I can’t remember anything, noises from tv or people talking makes me panic and irritable! I can’t relax &nbsp;ever, I will find things to clean or something to organize. But even then I start cleaning and I get so overwhelmed I can’t even complete it! I dissociate all the time and have such a hard time keeping up with work! Where to even start to heal?

  I’m stuck in survival mode - freeze. I can’t do anything when I have an attack. I have ALL the symptoms, anxiety, depression, stress, ptsd, can’t concentrate, I fall apart and cry and can’t stop. I can’t live like this. It’s been two and a half years since I lost Leesa. 😢 That’s when it all started. I’ve never been like this before in my life. I have trouble falling &nbsp;asleep, sleeping and waking up. I hate this. I just want to be normal again. I’m so lost. I can’t function.😢

  So true, I had to explain to someone that I had stress induced ibs and they said I’m so sorry you have been stressed. I realised I am always stressed and others aren’t
