I'm perpetually trapped in a fight or flight mode. I'm always on edge, it might be because of my childhood trauma or the guilt that I feel over my past actions but it's taking a toll on my body. I'm in my mid twenties but I look way older despite not drinking, smoking or doing drugs.Am I trapped in this hell forever?
>>34142427Sorry to hear this op. There's an old book called the power of positive thinking. You can find it on the net for free I'm sure. Try reading some of it. There's a chapter about worry, for instance, that I really liked. GL.

>>34142427There's a lot that you can do, you're by no means trapped. Peace is always an inward journey, so nothing outside of yourself can prevent you from finding it as long as put forward continual effort. For every worry, regret or concern there's an appropriate argument that can banish it. Accumulating those arguments by studying, meditating on them to cement them in certainty, and then recalling them each time you feel anxiety crop up is a guaranteed path towards inner peace that anyone can follow. It's only a matter of diligence and practice.
