Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I have the _exact_ same issue as you since 2 years. It was much worse than what you described 2 years ago. Now it's just very annoying.

The diagnosis I got from my therapist is PTSD from my chikdhood due to the strong connection between stress and body.

The only thing I found that alleviates my symptoms short term is lots of Buddhist meditation (1-2 hours per day).

I wish you all the best and thank you so much for sharing.



How'd you get started?


If you mean the Buddhist meditation: I joined a local group a few years ago. I wasn't super serious about the practice until I saw how directly it can improve my life. Even now it's hard to find this much time every day.

This is a book that helped me getting started: https://www.amazon.com/Roaring-Silence-Discovering-Mind-Dzog...
