I have been paralyzed from the neck down for nearly 18 years, and I experience major anxiety constantly. Being a c4 quadriplegic means that I am unable to move or feel my body below my shoulders, making me susceptible to bedsores. I have dealt with bedsores in the past, and I worry incessantly about the possibility of developing another one. The only time my anxiety subsides is when my caregiver repositions me in bed and checks my skin for red marks. My heart even races as I await my caregiver's assessment of my skin. Coping with this situation is a constant challenge that consumes my every waking moment.

[@infomercialguy]

You are a champion. And you can bravely discuss your situation so honestly. I'm impressed. Hey if you ever want someone to chat with feel free to respond and I will give you my phone number or e mail. I'm not sure what I would do if I was in your situation. I don't blame you for anxiety. I have so many questions. I can't help but want to help. Maybe because it's a fear of mine. Do you know joni Erikson tada ? She's also and a quadriplegic from a diving accident at the age of 17. Her videos are powerful. She does not sugarcoat your very real situation

[@BA-ef4pr]

Spot on with anxiety stored in the body. It literally is a part of who you are. As trauma is a result of something terrible and anxiety is based on trauma, good luck resolving it. I have an anxiety disorder starting from birth, more later at age 8, etc. Being a naturally happy person allows me to compartmentalize anxiety, which isnt healthy, but its the best method ive found for me. I do the box breathing method often, which helps to center myself and break anxiety explosion that would normally spin out.

[@VoxMachina8]

Just curious what makes you believe trauma can't be resolved?

[@BA-ef4pr]

@VoxMachina8 "Trauma is not what happens to you. It is what happens inside you." Dr. Gabor Mate.

Thank you as always Doctor. I'm learning that disconnecting the alarm, and my thinking, separate from my core. My core is always safe and perfect.

[@AtypicalPaul]

We are still evolving and our technology has evolved faster than we have or can biologically. I think this is why we have so much anxiety and other mental health struggles.

[@dawnofthedelts]

I cannot agree more! We live in such a construct that perpetuates anxiety. Once people know the truth, they will rebel against this construct and strive to live a simpler life.

[@Guys_Love_Each_Other]

Yes, that is likely part of the reason. Our brains have not changed much over thousands of years, while technology has changed rapidly. This mismatch can lead to feelings of pressure and overwhelm. Social media and smartphones, in particular, have a big effect on our lives and our overall mental health. So, while technology has made many positive changes in our world, it has also caused some negative effects. As with many things, it is important to find the right balance between the benefits of technology and the drawbacks.

[@AtypicalPaul]

He's very right about so much.

[@divinityeaster6610]

This makes sense. Good advice. I have an anxiety disorder. I do deep diaphragm breathing during meditation and mindfulness and minimise my thinking.

At 21:55 , what receptors is he referring to ? Is there a way to check on those circuits in our brain and how healthy/responsive they are? I often feel like I can’t connect

He referencing something talked about in polyvagal theory. People need social connection to help create a feeling of safety. It's working fine for you. It's subconscious, so it's not something you can turn on or off. You just know when you feel safe around certain people and not around others.
