I've recently came up with an idea and I wanna share it with you cause if it's true it can change all perspective in mental health area.

As far as I know all cortisol does is to prepare you in emergencies in an instant to act with your reflexes rigth? But they say when something traumatic happens there's so much information that you can't handle and you have to supress some of them. But is it really that much information you can't handle or so much pain cortisol gives to you (I always feel physical pain in my head, not like headache but like hot sand burning when I get less depressed and become more aware of myself, I'm pretty sure most people don't, and you know cortisol kills your brain cells which reminds me of some kind of a poison too, right?) that you can't handle and want to dissociate from your feelings of pain? And couldn't it be that pain you numbed that causes the suffering after trauma?

I wanna give you an analogy here. Let's say you cut your finger. What's your body's first reaction, to stop the bleeding? No, first you feel the pain for a split second and you try to dissociate from it. Then comes the rest.

I know it sounds absurd to you but think about it a couple of days. I really wanna get this idea to authorities but I don't know how. So please think about it and ask someone professional you know about the possibility. It may CURE all mental diseases at last.

i have never felt the pain first. i've always seen the injury first and then my brain picked up on the pain. when i smashed my ankle i heard the bones breaking and after i looked at my foot, i felt the pain.

so, i'm not sure how to respond. xoxoxo pat

What I'm trying to say is I think cortisol becomes a real agonizer. It has its own purpose but when it exceeds your brain's limit to handle it, it starts to kill your brain cells which gives physical hurt. It's so slight but still I think your brain tries to numb itself just like your finger when it gets cut. So in stressful situations I think that's what happens instead of supressing your thoughts.

Sorry I can't get it more clear than that. But when you figure out what I'm saying I'm sure it's gonna make sense so please don't ignore this idea and take it to some professional in mental care.

how do you know cortisol kills brain cells?
