Survival Mode...Unless You're Dying You'll Get Through It

Survival mode. We all go through it. The stages of life that make us and break us. Now I am not one to be down. I love being happy. I actually hate stress. Not sure who loves it but some people like drama and change and well I do not. 

After having my thyroid out I notice whenever I get really upset or stressed out my body shuts down. Literally wants to just sleep. Can't function right. It's pretty scary and pathetic so I try to choose my battles. 

I was talking to a man who has done deep psychology. He made a statement that really stuck with me. When we get into a situation we put ourselves into a survival mode. We either fight, or flight. We stay in and fight or we run from it. We can't just break down and give up. We will survive our bad situations unless it's a death sentence we are facing where we have no choice to give up. 

I am one for stability. I love a routine and a quite simple life. I really do. I don't need a lot to be happy. I am not fancy or need expensive things or need a lot of attention.  So when my life becomes shifted with change and I feel unstability I get into a bit of a panic mode. Then my body shuts down due to stress. I know it's easier said then done but we all have crap in life that shakes us up. But reality is will we survive? YES. Will in time things get better? YES. At the time it's hard to see it. But we humans are like animals. We fight for survival. So don't give up when things shift gears  make a plan and stick to it. Ride it out. Stay strong. Don't break down. Because in the end you will survive.
