Why Do I Get So Overwhelmed?

Understanding your Nervous System, and Realising It’s not Your Fault

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelming anxiety in certain situations? Struggling to think? Heart racing? Stuttering, confused, blushing? Or quick to anger – seeing red, wanting to shout, attack, hurt? Or just shutting down completely and going blank? Does it feel like there’s something wrong with you?

Well, the good news is that a) there isn’t and b) you’re in good company (despite how others may seem to portray themselves). These are all NORMAL and adaptive reactions to threat, and your nervous system doing what it’s been designed to do.
