Problem:
Read, and reply to discussion post..... I agree because
Did you know that in your brain there are small almond shaped cells called the amygdala, that are constantly able to control what you feel depending on the situation? This phenomenon occurs more often than what you imagine, and can lead to making the wrong decision or to have anxiety. Even though it sounds terrible, there is a way to control this, or at least to try and solve it in the best way possible.
Many people best know the amygdala as the "stupid part of your brain", now you may be asking yourself why? this is because when the amygdala phenomenon occurs there's a process called "fight or flight" which leads you to think of the worst case scenarios that could happen in that situation. For example, getting trapped in a dark room with nobody around, no sound or anything just you and the darkness, you may start feeling fear due to not being able to hear anything. you may start worrying if there any spiders around or anything that could possibly hurt you when these emotions take control over you its commonly know as "hijacked". The result of all these mixed emotions can result on getting anxiety that may take three to four hours to clear up.
The reality is though, you can't run away from whatever situation you are in, it is better to face the problem and address it start by naming what is happening, if you can't start organizing your thoughts and constantly try to breathe correctly this will help carry hormones to the neocortex and help you find the correct answer.
Knowing how to control your amygdala its important because it can help you make better decisions and have better control over your brain and emotions, remember try to analyze what's going on and always think with your human brain.
