Some are aware of the dangerous situation I’m in. Again being pushed and barbed and lied to and gaslighted – no need for baiting, she just wants my fury.
Because with my PTSD that means my death. I would rather die than feel this ever again and she knows it.
Only German has the right swear words.
But I discovered something interesting.
It’s not medical advice – though you may want to ask your doctor about it
If I use a small ice pack on the base of my skull where the amygdala is. I can calm down.
Someone suggested adding another to cool my neck.
By god it works.
I theorize slowing the blood reduces Iflammation and slows down stress hormones like cortisol.
I don’t actually know.
I just know it works.
Again, not medical advice. Just that it’s interesting.
To cool your temper, cool your amygdala.
Then distract yourself!
