I was freaking out

Last night I was stressed -- ok, actually I was freaking out. I knew what to do to calm down, yet my brain wanted to me to stay in freakout mode. Luckily, I was on to my brain. I know it's my brain's job to keep me safe so it wanted me to stay in fight or flight. Instead, I forced myself to take some deep breaths and write down everything swirling in my brain. Finally, I felt better and nodded off. Is your brain keeping you in fight or flight? If so, give me a yup in the comments.
