How to shutdown flight or fight response?

[Fried Rice of Many Honor]

Mine ain't doing me any good. Cant even think of doing something without it rearing its ugly face that applies stress to my limbs and weight to my chest. Think about going out? Nope you get to feel stress and weight on your body. Want to get your license for once? Yeah lets activate that useless response. I'm sorry I'm rambling. Just any advice to temporarily get rid of it or have it not come out as often.

[Electric Cupcake]

Since it is possible that thou mayest depart from life this very moment, regulate every act and thought accordingly. But to go away from among men, if there are gods, is not a thing to be afraid of, for the gods will not involve thee in evil; but if indeed they do not exist, or if they have no concern about human affairs, what is it to me to live in a universe devoid of gods or devoid of Providence? But in truth they do exist, and they do care for human things, and they have put all the means in man's power to enable him not to fall into real evils. And as to the rest, if there was anything evil, they would have provided for this also, that it should be altogether in a man's power not to fall into it. Now that which does not make a man worse, how can it make a man's life worse? But neither through ignorance, nor having the knowledge, but not the power to guard against or correct these things, is it possible that the nature of the universe has overlooked them; nor is it possible that it has made so great a mistake, either through want of power or want of skill, that good and evil should happen indiscriminately to the good and the bad. But death certainly, and life, honour and dishonour, pain and pleasure, all these things equally happen to good men and bad, being things which make us neither better nor worse. Therefore they are neither good nor evil.

you don't shut it off, its below the conscious level

I've wanted to turn it off for so many years because its just dumb to stress out over an online argument because your brain thinks its a danger. Or get stressed over a video game or movie, because your brain believes it may be a threat,

Start fighting.
Turn it into Fight or Fight response

a percentage of the population can't, and a percentage of the population will prevent themselves from being able to because they read that a certain percentage can't but otherwise might have been able to.

but, the human body tends to act on a unified chain of command. having to eat is more important than seeing some gore, so if you're a med student going to a dissection consider bringing some food. that way you can short-cut the priority of what you're experiencing with something more pleasant.

however, some people's chain of commands are different from eachothers. some people might find gore has a higher priority for them than the food does. some people might need to hold a sexy picture in their hand to get past a dissection. this may cause them to sexualize gore, as a fantasy, or it may not.

everybody's unique and different. there's no one-size-fits-all solution for everyone, and anything that expects one is doomed to not only fail but breed new and horrific forms of life and every bit of pain and torture that entails for everyone involved.

I just can't live like this. At this point id rather stab myself*not really gonna do it just an expression of frustration over it* Guess i can try breathing, though im very impatient.

What you can do is get up, walk away fro the computer. Lift some weights, go for a bicycle ride, etc.

To burn off the annoying fight or flight hormones you brain pumps into your body, thinking you need to fight or flight

Instructions unclear. I ended up in a body bag.

[Othobrithol]

Gradual desensitization to whatever stimulus triggers the response.
Find the level of exposure that is uncomfortable but bearable and go hang out there.

Making big goals just sets yourself up for failure, take baby steps and allow yourself to feel success when you go past your comfort zone. Reward yourself as you improve. The dopamine release is part of the conditioning process.

Avoid caffeine like the plague.

Some people have luck with beta blockers as it interrupts the feedback loop and physicians are much more comfortable with those than benzos.

It's difficult. One technique is making a cup of lightly-steeped tea, wait for it to cool down, and slowly sip while keeping your lips to the warm tea. It's oddly calming.

That's not even needed, if you can disassociate with the world. That's something of a skill, and one that you can't always control.

[Fake]

Hire a team of bodyguards. Problem solved.

[Caldari Ghost]

Go outside

Suppressing the flight or flight response is what generates stress.

So, to shut it down, just be stressed all of the time.

Some people believe even consciousness exists just to keep your cells alive, Same with the flight or fight system.

So consciousness might be = to fight or flight in importance.

So of course you can't kill something thats the same tier as you.

I used to have super bad social anxiety, then one day it dawned on me that I could literally just relax and stop caring what people thought about me.

Haven't had much of a problem since.

It's mind over matter; if you don't mind, it don't matter.

[Phénomènes Mystiques]

I will not and cannot help you with this because it could kill you when you needed the reverse and you kids love to sue others, I will only tell you to carry a weapon (preferably a knife and know how to strike) otherwise i am commuting a felony in UK to tell you how to defend yourself. I am old and DONE WITH your GENZ snowflake ♥♥♥♥... We cannot speak to extremists.. there is only division but cultural orgasmic states otherwise which is totally sick.
