Hi, I also can do this to rather an extreme level where I actually collapse. One thing that I have noticed is that if I start getting overwhelmed or 'fuzzy' giving myself permission to 'shut down' as I call it and actually go into the state consciously really helps. It did take over a year of working on this weekly to get me to this state, but I now feel much safer and less likely to run red lights and stuff. If I'm out I have to acknowledge that the feeling is around and promise that as soon as I am in a safe place I will deal with it. In therapy we use it as a warning of when things are clearly too much. If I have had a bad session I have to stay put and talk to her about an inane topic, which seems to work. I am sorry if you think you have to move on from this. My t kept pointing out it was me getting fed up not her and as I said it has taken a year of hard work to deal with it. I am still not completely there is session, but out things are much better.
Thanks for this!
