but I think I need the doctor to actually tell me that I have that so I can explain to the people who do not realize that they are causing it by constantly yelling at me why they need to leave me alone a bit more often and let me do my own thing (when people tell me what to do- it tends to stress me out, also having to confront pet peeves 24/7 also stresses me out
Someone one time pointed this out to me and even though I never realized it, it’s really very obvious. There is no such thing as a stressful situation. The stress is only a reaction that you have to an event (or person). It’s all in your head. we spend a lot of time reinforcing the idea that if someone yells at us, our response should be to become stressed. But the reality is that we can choose how we want to react. We are people, we can control ourselves.
