Long story short, I live with an emotional abusive mother, and I am currently unable to leave. The thing is, I'm walking on eggshells at home. One tiny mistake, and she becomes really.. well, abusive. And each time she seems to be a bit irritated, I'm freaking out. Most of time I have weird reactions, I kinda "freeze", I am literally paralyzed by fear, it feels like I can't move or talk anymore, and my whole body is giving out. I can stay like this for several minutes, and even when this "sate" ends, I still feel quite a lot anxious. I don't know how this thing is called, fight-or-flight response ? Freezing ? Anxiety attack maybe ?


Anyway, if one of you have any tips about coping with this, I'd like to hear it
