5:43 How to lower cortisol levels
In this video, we're going to talk about cortisol and how to turn off cortisol and stress.
Cortisol is a stress hormone that is made on the outside of the adrenal gland. Cortisol reacts to stress and helps to adapt the body to stress states. All stress is accumulative in the body, and as people experience stress (even though it tends to reduce after some time), it begins to accumulate inside the body as the adrenal gland only has the "ON" switch. What you need to do is manually apply the "OFF" switch to reduce cortisol levels.
To help lower cortisol levels, you can use different acupressure or massage techniques to turn this switch "OFF."

To anybody reading this,
Fight for your life and your happiness. I am a person who lives in a constant state of anxiety and panic. I've been prescribed every drug you could name and nothing has worked. Do not take the pills psychiatrists try to jam down your throat after knowing you for just 30 minutes. Find ways to make yourself happy. Get out there in the world and face your fears. Find ways to counter your stress. We only live one time. Learn, love and laugh. Say no to your stress and take control of your body again. You are so capable and you are amazing. There is a reason you are on this planet so make the most of it and realize your potential. You are beautiful and you can do anything you set your mind to.
Thank you for this beautiful message. I really needed this today.
Thank you so very much.
Thank you for this inspired message, you are so right
Thank you
Lovely reply
Yoga, meditation, tai chi, deep abdominal breathing, simplifying your life, relaxing music, turn off your tech, write in a journal, take relaxing walks by yourself, let go of toxic relationships, do not answer every email, text, voicemail, call each time. Breathe, just breathe. Get rid of junk in your home.
Thank you these are all the things I'm going to do when I get time LOL. Do to years of stress I think my body is in a high cortisol level. I have high blood pressure for the last twenty-plus years. Thank you for your advice I get it relax the body 🙂
Oh that’s how it works. Now I have a target.
Get rid of junk in ur home. What do u mean. I have no junk. Or u mean people.
@@cwhyharris7473 jmmnhnjjjjjjhh
I have a simple technique: I breathe in normally and smoothly, but I breathe out slowly (more than 5 seconds through the mouth) and that activates the sympathetic system, it actually lowers my blood pressure and I'm sure it DE-stresses me. The secret is to breathe smoothly, both in and out, but make sure it takes much longer to breathe out, it feels great and lowers your BP really fast. Thumbs up if you like this!
I use this method
My doctor tough me this
But sometimes I have a stronger anxiety than breathing!
I should use this method more than 2 a day
Thank you
Nopehahalolwut this works ffs well. I can lower my heart really well using breathing techniques. Yes it’s very real. Thanks
I have similar technique for walking. I call it "7-breathing". It is 3 steps breathing in, 4 steps breathing out.
I use breathing in packet.
Also try that wim hof breathing video
Depression is living in the past.
Anxiety is living in the future.
Peace is living now.
Well said!👍🏻
That's great!
Heard this often, plagiarism is real and wisdom is not when the words are not your own...
No kudos here dear.
@@thearodriguez8268 😳 do you grade high school essays for a living or something? plagiarism??? Sheez Louise. 🤦🏽♀️ lighten up lady. Just cuz he wrote it on a TH-cam comment doesn’t mean he’s taking credit for it.
Anxiety isn’t real a fear of the future, there is no such thing as future. It’s the fear of now, the direct impact of emotions in the now.
My attitude, sleep and life would be quite different if I learnt more about this at school in my teens.
Funny the things they don't... and do... teach us in school, isn't it? 🙄
Same here, but its all survival of the fittest, so important lessons aren't taught.
Thank you for saying that. I was just thinking of adding Dr. berg to my kids homeschooling Health and Wellness curriculum.
@@sammielovessophie9519 most kids and teachers in public schools are sick braindead zombies
Why expect school to teach you everything? Take responsibility for your own learning.
God I wished I had him as a teacher when I was training as a nurse! I would have picked things up so much more quickly! Hes a great educator!
He's fantastic!
People only ever seem to mention "flight or flight". I have a 'freeze' mode.
My sister did too
Yeah, that exists too. It's the worst.
That’s kind of like withdrawing yourself, like flight. And fight or flight refers to adrenaline rush of the sympathetic nervous system, not necessarily literally fighting or flying - as opposed to the parasympathetic nervous system when active- we are resting and digesting.
Thank you for mentioning this! My freeze response has just developed over the last couple of months, but it’s super intense. It’s just debilitating.
You mean like dissacoiating?
Society is stressful. We're not meant to be on a treadmill chasing ££££s, $$$$s, €€€€€s, farming out our precious children during our most productive hours and years.
Bit late but couldn't agree more
@@bearlyawake3904 Better late than never. ThanQ.
Yep. When our ancestors left their farms, where the reward for labor was direct hand to mouth, and started trading their time and work for dollars, they traded freedom for stress. Now even the farmers have to trade their time for dollars.
Those who control the distribution of dollars control you. And that is the source of our stress.
@@tannertuner Well put. I'm from the UK and it's the same the world over. I'd love to live off the fat of the land somewhere natural and peaceful.
@@tannertuner Agreed.
Stressed me out waiting for him to get to the point.
Why do you watch and make negative comments then. Simply turn it off. He has excellent informative videos.
Why did you respond? Simply go away.
You have the option to go to settings and adjust the speed to your liking.
Michael Orme lol, I was just going to say exactly the same thing.
Michael Orme I think he stressed himself so much in the talking just to make sure everybody understands.
Dr.Berg..what a wonderful, compassionate and clear teacher you are. Thank you kindly for educating us on all these vital topics.
Amen
He is truly amazing ❤💜💛🧡
I totally agree. Great job Dr.Berg.
EXCELLENT TEACHER
@@jamiehunter3387
Yes he is! ❤️✨
I am absolutely stuck in a stress state and am low on reserve. Thank you for explaining this.
Dr. Berg, I am a Firefighter. On 24 hours at the station. I am Type II. I have been on low carb for 4 months. I have dropped my blood sugar to normal readings. I have noticed that when I take my BS in the morning getting off shift from the Fire Dept , my readings are 10-20 points higher than on my days off. A friend suggested that the cortisol is causing my BS to be higher due to the constant "READY STATE" we must be in waiting for EMS and FIRE calls. Just wanted to run this by you. Thank You for everything you do. You have been very helpful to my health!
Same with Nurses during this crises. We’re tired
Is it life.....
Lets meditate n change ourselves
16 years of constant inner anxiety and anxiety attacks just over a month into keto. Stress reduced by 50%....why do Dr's never look at diet? Instead of just throwing medication at you?
Hi Edmund. Could you tell me a little about what you did to lower your stress. I've tried everything. Pills nothing works. Really appreciate it. Thanks
Seth Eskivias Well i'm no Doctor(although through research i probably know a lot more) the answer is sadly there isn't an easy one mate, everyone is different(i done the pill run, eek)
The way i did it was, find out your stressors, that's a starting point, then tackle one at a time! Until it stops being overwhelming, (i'm on the Autistic spectrum too, that's a lie i made a new level on that spectrum lol) so social situations is/was my thing.
The second of course is diet,(use supplements too)one of my stressors was hunger. When on a keto diet this is tough during fasting, my solution is to run up extra protein whilst maintaining low carbs(i know it pushes up blood sugar)but,would rather have a little raised blood than nagging anxiety, i like to feel full, as the cortisol speeds metabolism up immensely, and salad is not cutting it.
I know these are all these are cliches but exercise.Try Find an exercise/sport you love doing, (you may have to try a few)mine is mountain biking, can do it solo or with friends,do it everyday like clockwork same thing same time everyday.
Next one sleep, and this is tough, i developed an evening routine which includes exercise, food,a bath/shower and yoga/stretching.When doing the yoga i started at 10 mins, and built up to an hour, with an element of meditation(i stare at a candle) most important you need complete isolation in this last one distractions mess it up!
Another proactive thing you can do get a full medical bloods the works!
Never gonna be easy with this condition don't be too hard on yourself,stay away from negativity(we negative enough) so i get it.Take care buddy hope i helped a little👍
@@edmundblackaddercoc8522 It makes sense. I will work on finding what works for me. And thanks for your reply. Have a good one my friend.
They make big bucks from the commission..that's why
EXACTLY
5:41 - Turning it OFF
you seem high stress.
Only high maintenance.
Same thing.
thank you lester :)
You are welcome
This is so true, when my Mom suddenly died of aneurysm, I was 21 yrs old, I felt my life suddenly stopped. I was depressed for two years. After that, I felt I just had to accept my Mom is really gone I started to pick up living life but I had serious health issues, asthma attacks, serious skin asthma attacks, then my Doctor said if I don't control my body and live healthy it could lead to Lupus. I stopped eating industrially grown chicken, farmed shrimps and fish. Thankfully enough I got my asthma controlled. I am still in my journey towards a healthier 50.
You have a life to live and your mother would want you to live it. I hope you do.
Hi, I'm an aneurysm brain survivor, I was literally dead, neurosurgeon was able to bring me back, I'm sorry to hear you lost your mom for that reason .. God bless you and be strong
I lost my mom when I was 21 also. Has to fend for myself after that. Depression & anxiety was part of my life & I am just now getting the hang of life. God rescued me.
@@michellez664 I'm sorry to hear that, I had a seazurs, then pass away, God & doctors brought me back, I don't know how I'm still alive it just happened. I totally understand your story, I'm here for you girl. God bless your heart
@@juvega2877 my mother had an aneurysm in 99 he had full brain surgery and lived a full life until she was 80.
Simply said - avoid stressful people and situations as far as possible. 🙏
I knew someone that had this, very angry all the time had rhumetoid arthritus, hearth disease, high blood pressure and always had stomach pain could never relax. Your own body just destroys itself.
as a person with hypoadrenalism, hypothyroidism and hypogonadism...trust me when i tell you this man knows what he's talking about.
There's a term called
Flight or fight.
I just call it
Fed up with everything and everyone ☺️
Join the. Club!😂
Yoga,walking in the countryside, healthy diet, Pilates,charity work,my cats and family all help me relax
Lucky you. Obviously, you have no children, ready to derail all your good intentions, not because they are uncaring, but because of their reckless mistakes, that you have to fix.
This is exactly what's been happening to me for over 6 years now. I'm a stressed out stroke survivor and can't recover because I'm in a constant state of fight or flight. I often watch your videos because you talk a lot about stress.
+Tamara P Thanks for watching :)
Tamara, I hope you are doing better, do consider taking some adaptogens supplements ! it works on controlling cortisol, stress and anxiety ;-) good luck
I started with rhodiola today and breathing exercises a few times a day. I'm practicing the skill of patience, which I didn't have before, so that's a challenge.
Tamara P try weed or alcohol in moderate. Just don't overdo it.
Mandeep Singh what a nonsense advice (weed and alcohol) from a Sikh. I can't believe it.
I feel more relaxed just listening to him lol
He has a very calming voice...if doctors sounded more like him Id probably go see one!
Me too, love this man
Thanks 👍😊👍😊
To add to this, you can control how your breath. The Institute of Heartmath explains how to do this but the key is when you first become agitated or stressed, immediately slow down your breathing and instead of short quick breaths, take long slow breaths and you will shut off the Cortisol, adrenalin as well as your heart. I used this process minimize panic attacks.
DIS U JUST SAY: SHUT OFF YOUR HEART ??!
sounds like a plan !!!#
I don't really want to shut off my heart though.😂
Dr. Berg! I cannot thank you enough for all the work you do here for us on TH-cam. You are an incredible person!!
It's not often I enjoy the teaching style of a person, but I love the way you teach. I actually want to learn more ontop of satisfying my original question!
Hildibrand FTW!
Kambra it's a gift, and Dr. Berg has it!!! It is also a testament to how well he understands this material. If he can break it down so those of us without his education can understand, he really gets it!
Honestly, Doc, I get so de-stressed just watching your vids. Your voice is very calming and your brilliant information gives me hope and a path to health, which is the greatest wealth! Kudos!
Magnesium magnesium magnesium
Curious to how it would help?
Thank you.
Gives me pimples 😞
Does not work.
@@vincewarren1271 try soaking in a warm bath of pure, medical grade magnesium salts 2 or 3 times a week. It relaxes muscles n removes lactic acid build up. We are often magnesium deficient and trans dermal is the best way to absorb magnesium. It is a very important mineral
Tsetsi magnesium really does help! Thank you, Tsetsi
I strughle with CPTSD all my life, but since keto..I tapered off clonazepam ( benzodiazepine) 23 years taken as prescribed, I quit smoking, lost 27 pounds. I feel good!
My mom gets diagnosed with another rare autoimmune disease whenever she undergoes an incredibly stressful/traumatic event, and just this past year she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia which I’ve heard is tied to inflammation in the body. This makes complete sense
I have also been a very stressed person. I have learned many ways to cope with stress but I'm still stressed overall. I'm trying to begin to change by improving different areas of health, mental health and spiritual well being. I need to be healthy. I want to eat better, sleep better, begin mild activity, work on thinning the clutter even more and just come to know what peace is through psychology and my beliefs through The Bible.
I feel so grateful to this gentlemen. Have been under stees for years and really feel that I stuck in that baldy. Going to follow all hiz instructions straight away.
Thank you very much, Sir.
Thank you so much! It seems that even the way you speak, the very tone of your is therapeutic in itself. Great work!
Thank you so much! I've been an athlete all my life until 2014, and just can't seem to get out of my funk.
Bless you for trying to help people feel better! ♥
I don’t understand what you mean but I am intrigued to know. I receive physical and mental health benefits from light exercise, 40 minutes three times a week, short runs and short sprints 1-3 mins. For five months once or twice a week I did cross fit which had a superb effect on an relatively old body- 50.
i hate when people tell me to relax, i honestly cant
Josh Dobyns Listen only to the sound of my voice. Let your mind relax. Let your thoughts drift. Let the bad memories fade. Let peace be upon you. Surrender yourself to your dreams. Let them wash over you like the gentle waves of the bluest ocean. Let them envelop you. Comfort you. Imagine somewhere calm. Imagine somewhere safe. Imagine yourself in a frozen forest. You're standing in a clearing. Trees around you so tall, they touch the sky. Pure white snowflakes fall all around. You can feel them melt on your skin. You are not cold. It cannot overcome the warmth of your beating heart. Can you hear it? You only have to listen. You hear it slowing? You're slowing it. You are in control. Calm. At peace.
Horny Pervert Thanks for that horny pervert.
Or when they say “just let it go”
Don't worry, Josh, it's not just you; like a lot of worthwhile things it takes a bit of practice.
Maybe start by setting aside just two minutes a day to stop everything and experiment with the idea. Check carefully through your body and brain and note where in particular you can feel the tension/stress. Focus on that place, and sensation, just allowing your mind's awareness to sit with it and experience it in full, without judging or trying to change it..
After a while of doing this, consider whether you actually need and want to hang on to this feeling. If you don't want to, if you can, physically let go of it - begin to release the tensed up muscles there, along with any associated thoughts and feelings. If you really can't do this, just go back to the practice of tuning in to it and accepting that it's there, exploring and refining your awareness of it.
Even doing this will bring some stillness to your mind and begin to soothe your overwrought nervous system, and will be beneficial.
If you want to go further, check out a range of books and/ or online courses in mindfulness meditation and pick one or two you like to learn from - BUT, importantly, they should be ones you do feel a certain amount of confidence in, that don't make you feel irritated or resistant, which would only set up further tension for you.
Hope this helps at least a bit. Good luck!
start writing about your past - so that you figure out the cause and effect of past traumatic situations and get a lesson for the future this is proven in studies to decrease your level of cortisol, Jordan Peterson's Self Authoring (past authoring part specifically) is exactly that and it has provably helped many to get their lives together but you don't have to buy it.
I love the fact that your video's come when I need them most! You are a wonderful man Dr. Berg!!!
This video is amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You just confirmed what I had been trying to explain to MDs for years but they would never listen.
Thank you, Dr. Berg. I loved your calm, gentle voice and how thoroughly and clearly you explain cortisol. I definitely will seek out more of your videos.
I love his speaking voice...helps me sleep.
I lost my uncle 6 years ago and I haven’t been the same. Thank you dr
I'm so thankfu,l that God has my stress! Try Him. I was so stressed over the years, caused to have cancer. I am healed! No more stress for me. I have a relationship with someone that doesn't hurt me, God!
@GenTech05 Ask Him from the bottom of your heart and you will find out.
Yes, relationship w God even changes our biology! He heals us from all as we pursue Him.
Benny Jet Actually out of His love He asks for it! Give it to Him and we are well. Carry it and we are sick!
I need to depend more on HIM
Benny Jet :). Actually God does not have a sex and is not sexist either. The Bible is very clear that all men and women are created uniquely in Gods image and likeness. The full nature of God is not understood. God has described himself in all sorts of metaphoric ways both female and male but predominately as a loving intimate Father. But it is still metaphor, so I don’t get into hair splitting about it.
I don't understand why ppl love to skip to the title. This is why you're here in the first place. To learn how to improve/heal your organs. A few minutes of extra vital information, won't hurt. You must learn how they've gotten that bad to begin with, in order to prevent it from reoccurring. Smh!
Thats their main problem. One key to turning off stress is to slow down.
Simone Washington, I totally agree!
Exactly!
Applause. With you on that
@@simonewashington3429 Your comment made me smile but true!✌
Absolutely agree! Emotional shocks set off major immune system events (often within 6-24 months). I see it every day with my PTSD, complex trauma and burnout clients. Early trauma also makes people very susceptible to adrenal burnout
Multumesc doctor BERG ! Din traducerile comentariilor , am aflat multe lucruri folositoare legate de sanatatea noastra . Imi pare bine ca v-am descoperit (tot dintr-un comentariu) Felicitari !
Wow so glad i saw this, it's vital for people who have had traumatic experiences or very stressed over years
Very well explained Dr. Berg, I always wondered how stress worked scientifically. Now that its quite clear, I can start working on my condition of stress by myself. Thank you.
Arun how?
I truly appreciate your videos and how you inform us and teach us. This has hit home with my condition. I have MS which is triggered for me by stress, I went through a company merger, divorce, home sale and moving my children in six month period, I was and am, the only active parent. I have sleep issues and digestive problems, (my mind does not want to turn off)
I enjoy your videos and will continue to view and follow them/you. Thanks!!
Thanks for posting this, I found it very helpful, and the links too!
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, they are so helpful and informative! 😊
If he spoke to me in that compassionate, factual, soothingly helpful way, i'd get better just from such a good co-work relation. Probably sympathetic-dominant stress state since infancy, I see as I recall certain typical events and processes. He is so right, and it is so sensible once one gets aware of it. I appreciate his good and compassionate explanations; the combination makes me feel valuable, good and wanting to get up once more and not give up to find the help I have needed for so long.
My Dad recently fainted while preaching at Church. He told me it was a reaction to stress. I’m so glad that I found you months ago. I’ve been able to send him your videos & the adrenal kit. It made a huge difference for me & I’m confident it will for him too. Thanks for all of your videos Dr. Berg. My life has greatly improved d/t what I’m learning from your videos.
What is the adrenal kit?
Hello pls what is d adrenal kit?
Dr Berg --if there is anything I ever want to understand- I come to you Thank you for the wonderful way you share your knowledge!
For all the good you have done by freely sharing your wonderful knowledge- you are a true doctor !
Just brilliant glad I found you. Maybe now I can get out of this stressed state and start to heal. X
Thank you Dr Berg. I have gone through some rough times in the last year and for the life of me I can’t understand why none of the multitude of Dr.s that i have seen have not even attempted to go in that direction. I thought that I am going crazy and I was the one at fault as that is what was implied. My stress level has been increasing exponentially over the years and as for sleep... I actually don’t know what a full night of proper feels like anymore. Why are the Dr.s on the same page. Please continue preaching and teaching. It always takes one person to start a revolution in the thinking process. Most Dr.s I have had the pleasure of pleading with give me the same song. “Sorry, here’s some meds and call me in a couple of months”. You make so much sense and darn, I intend to literally put all your instructions to practice as no one has taken me on this path and its time I do something for myself. Thank you and G. Bless.
How are you now? X
I’d like to thank you Dr Berg for your great informative videos. I’m over 14 days into Keto and already I’ve lost weight, indigestion’s gone, have uninterrupted sleep, feel great, sugar free and most importantly anxiety has dropped to an all time low.

Thank you for explaining that so well. I'm glad to now understand that stress accumulates helps me understand what I'm going through.

I’m one of many who struggles with General Anxiety Disorder. I’m also trying to start a family. I’ve recently learned that stress is almost a natural contraceptive. I wish there were more information on this out there. Thank you for this video. I wonder if you could speak to it more in the context of pregnancy? Keto and pregnancy, brain health and fetal health in the context of your expertise? That would be amazing. Thank you!
It is good that it is a contraceptive because a future mother needs to be in a more or less relaxed state to have a healthy pregnancy and be able to be a affectional mother to the newborn. People have no idea how there own stress and traumas effect their children, in the first years of their babies lifes and even in the prenatal state. Traumas are being transferred towards your children, your state of mind literally effects the brain development of your.child. For the sake of your future children, deal with your own stuff first!
Love this one, too. Thank you for sharing and caring!
Excellent information! Thank you so much for the simple easy to understand explanation and graphics! 🖒🖒☺
Thanks! I learned something interesting about shutting off cortisol production. You recommend long walks to relieve stress. I would like to add one more point to this. Never allow your pulse rate to go over 130 while doing your walks. It seems that when your pulse goes over 130 you start producing cortisol which sets you back. I did this yesterday and my morning glucose test dropped 15 points from the day before and my blood pressure was lower. What I did when my pulse rate got over 130 was to just stop walking and allow my pulse rate to drop to below 100 and then I resumed walking.
Always learn a lot from watching your videos, very well put together.
Loved this explanation. It all makes sense, thank you so much 😊
Very informative. Thank you for helping me with my studying for Anatomy II!
Thank you doc. I've learnt lot of things in your videos...
Hi Dr Berg! I really love that you recommend non-medical techniques too lower stress. It's really refreshing not to always recommend medication to lower symptoms and also not forget about the cause.
:) :) :)
Him keep taking the top off that marker raised my cortisol
A calm, rhythmical, even breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system.
If you do it regularly, several times a day, for the rest of your life! Ayurveda and Chi- gon practice it!
Activates in a good way or bad way?
@@stonefireice6058 pls can you share a link for this
@@danielbenitez6985 In a good way. Parasympathetic is the calming system (rest and digest), you want that one activated most of the time. Sympathetic is the aggressive system (fight or flight), you need that one activated if you need to fight, run away from a tiger, or meet a deadline at work. But once that stressful event is over, people have a hard time turning that system off and activating parasympathetic to calm down and relax, sleep well, etc.
Look up Pranayama
Just quit the job this morning, could not deal with the stress anymore. I have realised that not knowing what will be next is not as stressful as staying where I am now
Amazing informative video. Dr Berg your teaching style and voice, your demeanor, is very soothing yet hopeful. The info is incredible. Thank you!
Dr Berg, this is video maybe 4 years old but so relevant to me right now. Thank you so much.
ur realy great Dr.!!! So many idot doctor dont know these things and simply give many medicines irrespective of problem caused !!
Glorified pill pushers.
Thank you for this clear explanation. I'm finally, after several years, beginning to understand what has happened to me.
Younger Dr Berg😮
I love them both! God bless you for helping people.
This is the first time I got an explanation about cortisol that is easy to understand and so holistic.
I felt like my life was full of stress specially in 2020 . If I start what was stressing me I can continue until tomorrow but what helped me was proper diet ( am still recovering)
No diary no gluten no sugar
A lot of vegetables and fruits
Ashwagandha was so helpful
How you feeling now?
I ripped my adrenal glands out two years ago. Can’t turn on if they aren’t there. Get off me stress.
One of the most beneficial videos I have ever watched
Very well explained. Thank you Dr. Berg. So good to know that cortisol is accumulative on previous stress. That explains why my son's anxiety disorder can relapse with a little stress trigger: his buffer is not big enough.
Thank you Dr Berg..... this is valuable information! I used to live a VERY high stress life, then everything impossible thing went wrong x100, as if it was a test.... well I didn't do so well, I shut down, and shut out everything and everybody as a response, I guess as a overload impulse. I am slowly letting only what I want and approve of back. I really can't explain it well, but this video with Dr. Bergs explanation helps.
Thank you Dr Berg. Knowing this and combining it with meditation is very powerful for me. After watching this I meditated on the parts of my body that accumulated those stresses and brought some rest to them and me. The practice was deeply relieving. Because my accumulative stresses have amounted to so much and this small practice was so successful, I will continue continue to chip them away each day in this manner. Thank you very much once more.
U r a wonderful teacher who always goes to detail of the subject.

People talk about the "fight of flight" response, and always forget "freeze" is also a reaction.
The fright could be interpreted as the Freeze mode.

Imagine growing up in a home with abuse for decades and what that does.
That's me, constant anxiety, stress, fear, depression, trust issues, self doubt, social anxiety, withdrawn post traumatic stress disorder, and som OCD. But the good thing is I'm out of that environment I realize my habits and I'm working hard to change them.
