At one point my body just straight up gave up and I burned out from pushing myself too far, and ever since the panic-induced action has been nonexistent.

Now every time I get into a similar place where adrenaline starts up, I just figuratively collapse and freeze up. Absolutely nothing gets done, and I just feel a strong instinct to escape/hide. My body refuses to work with me, instead forcing me to, you know, actually try to take care of myself or it will go on strike lol
