Thank you both @broadperspective and @eineismijmich very true words spoken here and great advice. I have tried to be more in control when I feel I am experiencing the fight/flight response but am often not successful. There are certain triggers causing this and I am still discovering when and how this happens. Being aware of it happening to you and knowing which triggers sets it off are most important (ask questions like: when, where, who, how, why). This knowledge can help you make a mental note on what to avoid and how to put in measures to help control your response.
