The fight or flight response is an involuntary, spontaneous reaction to an impending danger. Imagine walking through the woods. You come face to face with a wolf. Your heart starts beating fast, your muscles tense, you are instantly alert. For a split second you are paralysed with fear. Then you make a decision. You decide to either defend yourself or run. This is the fight or flight response. For people with GAD this is everyday life  #GAD #anxiety #fightorflight #fear #mental #health People, Inspiration, Panic Attacks, Mental Health, Adhd, Anxiety Help, Deal With Anxiety, Anxiety Disorder, Mental Health Support
