Got woken up at 4.30 this morning by what I think may have been someone trying to break into my house . Thankfully the noise woke me and my daughter (she is 20) and I rushed downstairs to check everything was secure etc. This is my point - yes my adreneline was pumping at the time and my heart was racing but I was able to go back to bed and fall asleep within 20 mins of the initial disturbance. This led me to look back at things and realise that in almost every aspect of life I cope with things head on, without panic or worry. Yet feeling n* or anything v* related sends me into a frenzy. Whether its myself or others I just absolutely cannot handle it. Another example of this was when my daughter was about a year old I returned to work part time in my aunties shop. One day I was there alone when I got held up at knifepoint. I was so laid back about it I didnt freak out or even give in to his demands, I just stood firm and eventually he run off empty handed! How ridiculous am I that being confronted with a knife or a possible home invasion didnt affect me and yet emet brings me to my knees. Anyone else find themselves reacting like this?
