None of your symptoms are killing you. Talk to your brain, you are teaching and retraining it - and you need to do this to lower all the ways it affects your nervous system.
“This hurts, but I am ok, I am safe.” “This is BENIGN”, “Brain, this is painful but you can’t hurt me”… whatever it takes to sit for say.. 30 seconds. Then after that 30 seconds CONGRATULATE yourself! Tell your brain that no matter what it threw at you, you did it.
This is the early work along with journaling or meditation to offload the stress so you can begin to learn to look for triggers, and to see your thought habits, patterns and personality and how they create inner stress in general.
It’s a lot, but you can do this. Slow and steady.

I really like this advice! Thank you! And I’m bookmarking it. I Especially like that I should look at my own THOUGHT HABITS, PATTERNS and PERSONALITY and how they CREATE INNER STRESS.

It IS a lot of work! It really is. But it’s amazing all the ways I’m discovering that I put pressure on myself. As I’m becoming aware of some things, and trying to dump them off, life feels so strangely simple and “too easy.” I wonder how I’ve lived such an unhealthy unnatural life all this time! Well, obviously it all caught up with me.
