What your thoughts process looks like?

Mine is fixating on something. It is freeze of thought not just body.

I also try to fix something. Like mentally figure it out. It is flight energy.

I also process emotions through maladaptive day dreaming.

I had ocd like hyper mental fixation on something for relief. But it went away when stress level reduced.

I am afraid of using my will to force myself to act. Because freeze wins against will. Rendering me into learned helplessness

I have attempted action. Forcing myself way to function but it failed. Instead I stopped trying because trying and failing taught my nervous system it doesn't work.

So on the top of freeze now learned helplessness is there too.

I know my nervous system has adapted after spending a life time in abusive home. It is trying to protect me but also now keeping me stuck in the very environment.
