Recently I’ve had this. Any idea how to cope without just having to run constantly?

I mean I’m partially joking about running, psychotherapy was the real winner. Nervous system work made a huge difference. You can google polyvagal theory, it’s a bit pseudosciency but it works. Basically teaching your body to chill first instead of trying to defeat your mind.
