What do you do in That fight or flight response my parents used to argue and I would hide in my closet until it was over sometimes it would be hours. My brother found me one day hiding in the closet hidden behind hanging clothes and he asked me what I was doing and I told him I'm scared and he gave me a hug told me not to hide anymore that it's there problems. So I would space out on my bed watch TV listen to music until my heart and mind calmed down.

I moved in and my dad told me he's going to throw everything away in the bedroom if I don't clean it and it gives me this feeling like a deer in headlights I get stuck I bite my nails, I lay in bed I feel frozen until that worry and feeling is over and I waste my day scrolling on the phone or daydreaming and I can't clean until my feelings are resolved and I get over the emotional wounds like verbal or emotional abuse or getting this macho attitude being yelled at bossed around being intimidated it creates this fear inside of me and I wanted to know how can I be more confident and overcome this coping method and get out of this I'm afraid of this person so I'm going to hide and freeze.
