    So i had an experience last year that people coined as a "traumatic event". Basically i almost ran off the road on a slippery snowy road at 70-80 km/h, which would have killed or severely injured me.
    I talked to a doctor in the aftermath and she told me i should look out for any changes or distress like anxiety or troublesome thoughts and such. I believe she was referring to symptoms related to PTSD and the "fight or flight" response.

    However i don’t think i ever experienced the "fight or flight" response. Atleast i couldn’t identify it happening. The first change i noticed was that i had become a lot more calm in general. The doctor warned me of emotional distress, but i think i had the opposite effect. I’m not saying i can’t feel any emotions. I’m saying that i don’t respond to them. Atleast not in the same way as others around me.
    But to get to the point. You know how some people activate the "fight or flight" response and get stuck with it activated. I’m wondering if it’s possible to achieve the same thing with the "rest and digest" response?

    Correction: cholesterol is raised when we are stressed because cholesterol is the raw material used by the body to make the hormones necessary for the stress response. At the same time the stress response increases coagulation ability (the body is anticipating an injury). These two things are independent of each other, The cholesterol increase is not related to heart disease but the coagulation is.

    Stress (way too much stress) that is unrelenting, can cause blisters or bumps on your lips like fever blisters. Stress really can cause that. The time to reach out for help is probably when there are too many areas of life at once that are all in highly stressful predicaments, especially if a person feels like it’s starting to get to be too much. Yes, stress if too much, in too many areas, for too long, is very hard on one’s health. Get help if health starts to suddenly become effected. It’s important. Stress is normal, but not healthy in too large amounts.

    A way to health and good

    Why is good good? What is good?

    It’s good when a situation fits. It’s good when a situation doesn’t damage.

    Damage is the opposite of healing.
    Damage breaks something. Healing repairs something.

    No damage is therefore Healing.

    If a situation doesn’t damage, it seems to heal ?!

    Desire is wanting what is missing.
    What is missing, is the good.

    So if you recognize the good and thus have it, you no longer desire.

    You just have to show yourself whether a situation heals when it doesn’t damage.

    Please share

    So if someone has a severe fear of death but is also the type of person to be pessimistic and is lonely currently and gets depressed often because of that loneliness(is single), even having emotional outbursts involving tears then how and what can I do to help them?what can I say to them?
