Growing up i lived a really toxic environment. physical, mental and emotional abuse almost daily. Witnessing my mother get physically abused as well. During all this craziness I learned to adjust myself and quickly learned to read people. It was like a necessary survival skill. I really hate talking about this because it makes people uncomfortable but I was also sexually molested by my grandfather from about age 5-7 any time I slept over my grandmothers house.. really blocked and those memories for years. Didn't even tell my parents till about 6 months ago after my grandfather passed away. I told my sisters when I was a teenager and asked them if he'd done the same to them and thankfully he hadn't but they were in disbelief and a kinda quiet uncomfortable reaction. Never spoke it with them after that. Needless to say I am all to familiar with the physical and mental long-term damage and effects it has on the body and chemicals in the brain. I unfortunately made the bad decision as a teenager to try opiates and discovered that it must be what "normal" people feel like everyday. Life seemed brighter and easier to manage on them. I liked how the constant noise in my head was muted and how I no longer felt tension and aches in body. Breathing seemed easier as well as being around people...anyway it was my vice. So 2 every few weeks or so became 2 a day and so on. I was a fully functional closet addict. I was living with my boyfriend at this point. A wedding singer doing gigs with the band on the weekends, getting my bachelors in music on the weekdays,and had an online store selling custom design shoes on etsy. Living with anxiety and occasional depression but still had the motivation and spark that gets you through the life. Wow. I'm sorry I didn't think I'd write this much. I am now 2 years or so clean. Off of the opiates, and benzos(they came in the picture years later). I was self medicating since the age 15 till about 31. I am now 33. Choosing to be sober was the best choice I've made.. but being sober is no easy thing. Not because of fear of relapse or temptation but because of the damage I did to my neurotransmitters and depletion of dopamine and serotonin. Never thought I'd be wishing to have The anxiety I remembered "pre addiction". I lost the spark and hunger for life. I know it takes time for the body to heal and I haven't lost faith. I've noticed a big change recently for the better. Things feel a bit brighter and hopeful. Anyway I'm sorry..to say I overstated is an understatement..haha. do you know anything about the long term effects of benzos or opiates on brain. And how long it take for the body to start producing dopamine/and serotonin naturally on its own again? Thanks in advance.
I'm so sorry that you went through so much as a child. I know that it takes a lifetime of moving forward with purpose. You will need to continue to fight for happiness and the good life. I'm nearly 60 and I am eternally grateful for the wisdom my crazy past has motivated me to seek out. This was a video I stumbled across that I think so many could benefit from. The thing I have learned in life is that sadly we are not alone. Too many people have suffered trauma, mine was bad, but I know that there is no limit to the depth of what others have been through. Be good to yourself and take good care of yourself. God be with you and keep you.🙏
Just want to say thank you for sharing. You are super strong and brave. I went through the same thing as a child. I'm so proud of you and everything you have accomplished!
Cat videos, teenagers with bards doing burpees, some long drugged out thing that goes no where, some dude playing video games, school, not participating in your own rescue, cognitive dissonance, associated conspiracy theories, doctors using you “free healthcare “ as a piggy bank, having enough money for cable, rather be at a bar, IDK. 😂😂😂
VERY good video!!! I had an HPA dysfunction that took me two years to recover from and i had to research all of this to understand what was happening to my body chemically and neurologically in order to heal. Of course the "regular" doctors said there was nothing wrong, but my neurotransmitter test confirmed that I had high levels of glutamate and all of my other neurotransmitters were almost undetectable. That was all from too much stress for too many years.
@@jeannegarcia7325 I did full brain cap neurofeedback to balance my brain waves. I was very ill so i did it twice a week for a year. It was very expensive but it saved my life. I bought ANS Rewire program. and the Gupta Program... followed those protocols to the letter. I found both channels here on UA-cam. I ate a very strict non inflammatory diet for a year... no bread no dairy lots of fruits and veges.. very little sugar.. no processed foods. I meditated using Progessive Hypnosis channel herevon youtube Upon waking up and going to bed.
Julia Isabella Hi Julia, I was going to ask you the same question Jeanne asked you so thank you for answering that. I’m wondering about the first treatment you mentioned.. did you have to go for it in person in a clinic somewhere? I feel so much hope reading your testimonial. Like you I had years of serious stress (kind of a lifetime tbh but recent years much worse) and now my HPA axis is messed up causing health problems. You’re right that each person has to do their own research because a lot of neuroscience/other medical knowledge isn’t mainstream enough yet
Oh sorry, I guess the channel on here is CFS Unraveled not ANS Rewire, i think he uses both names. Wben i had my HPA axis disorder, I had extremely severe anxiety 24 seven couldn't sleep for two months, and was afraid of everything even tree leaves moving, I had severe chronic fatigue disorder and severe fibromyalgia. And it really took a very comprehensive approach to get slowly better. But its not something that can be rushed. So the programs that I mentioned really did that for me. I forgot to mention that I also took a lot of supplements. I lived off of Pharma Gaba from natural factors it literally was the only thing that could calm my panic attacks. It doesn't work for everyone but it definitely helped me a lot. I also used the Alpha Stim every day for about a year. Its cheaper than NF but not as powerful. It still helps though. By year two i was feeling about 90 percent. But it took another whole year to feel 100%. I would say once you get better be careful with antibiotics because I had a relapse in 2021 after taking Flagyl and it took me about three weeks to get better. Its been 4 years now and i feel great.
My brother and i both experienced mental, physical sexual and emotional abuse we experienced orphanages, group homes prison, jail bullies my experiences never seemed as devastating as my brothers situation memories of his life set me off things like nightmares, flashbacks wanting to protect him . On 7/30/21 my brother got hit & killed by a car and then ran over by 6 to 8 other cars and here i am again mentally breaking down over my beloved brothers pain.
What you described about the cortisol and the inflammation it sounds a lot like fibromyalgia. I was looking up my symptoms before I knew that it was caused by trauma and anxiety and came across fibromyalgia.. the doctors claim to not know what it is exactly or what causes it. Seems you just summed it up perfectly.
Funny how fibromyalgia actually has believers now (and that's good news for sufferers!) where it didn't use to, but people still gaslight trauma and covert abuse. Unbelievable.
When I had really really bad fibro, I couldnt sleep at night because of the severe pain. But I bought the Gupta program and he has a CD where he tells you what to say. Basically, you gently caress whatever muscle is cramping and you relax your body and you just say, "This is temporary and it is going to pass. I am safe. I am healing. This is just temporary. " And you say it a few times. So I did that and I kid you not, by the next day about 80 percent of my fibro was gone and about 90 percent by the following month. Its100 percent gone now for four years. It's all about calming down the fight or flight response and relaxing the muscles. The nervous system has to know that it is safe and will be fine. Once it believes that, it will heal rapidly.
Came across this while studying the neurobiology of a crisis response and PTSD, and this was so helpful. It also makes me think…just seen an article that the birthdate is at an record low- the lowest since 1979 some say- and it totally makes sense when you think of the Cortisol levels and the suppression of the reproductive system…🤯
Wonderful lecture! Very informative 👌🏼 I think I’m piecing together the puzzle that is my current mental and physical state. I’m falling apart and I feel utterly lost, but it helps to better understand the biochemical responses.
I can identify,relate & connect so much with your words as I am ALSO currently attempting to piece back together my mental stability & wellbeing ! I'm sorry that you've been struggling within yourself lately and I want YOU to know that YOU ARE BEAUTIFULLY & WONDERFULLY YOU!!! Don't lose sight of ALL THE AMAZING,ADMIRABLE ATTRIBUTES & QUALITIES YOU BRING TO THIS WORLD & TO THOSE AROUND YOU!! YOU MATTER!!
A small correction: less Benzo binding is not the same thing as less GABA receptors. GABA receptors have dedicated Benzo binding sites, which are different from where GABA binds. In patients suffering from PTSD, it is the Benzo binding site that does not work well. Of course, better Benzo binding means better GABA functions.
This is extremely helpful for me as this is a much more detailed explanation to what I am diagnosed with than what I got from my doctor. Thanks so much!

I had a head injury 35 years ago. I used to be more organized and I miss it. Hurricane Andrew totally disenfranchised me. A woman speeding 60 miles an hour in downtown Miami in a 25 mile an hour Zone T-boned me. He broke my neck at C2, pelvis and sacrum. Furthermore, even though I had my seatbelt on the car was thrown 250 feet and my intestines punched a 10 and a half inch hole through my diaphragm collapsing my lungs. There was a huge operation and I was lucky to live. Things changed after that.

@@DocSnipes Thank you Doctor Snipes. Wishing you the same. Counsellors aren't effective at all for my situation but I realize it's effective in probably most cptsd situations. Situations where the cause of the cptsd is at least gone. I'll be fine. As hard as people try, I'm annoyingly tough and hard to break.
Low cortisol along with a stressful events should be linked with probably high TSH and low fT4 or T3. Anti-tpo/anti-tg should be taken to find eventual underlying chronic thyroid issue
This is incredibly helpful. I have PTSD from my time in Iraq and I am pulling myself back together. I would like to write up what you have said but (as you know!) I have trouble focussing and so I was going to make bullet points from the transcript - unfortunately there isn't one! Is it possible to get the transcript and slides please?
I'm not sure if every phone has this but mine, in my settings, has a setting to turn on captions for every video. I use it when I'm a bit too tired to listen.
Any thoughts on trauma and the development of Cushing’s Disease? I’ve had several traumas from childhood on, I’ve been diagnosed with PTSD for years. I had sudden unexplained weight gain, depression/anxiety, eventually developed metabolic syndrome and then 2 yrs ago I had terrible brain fog, I thought I was getting Alzheimer’s. No, 17mm ACTH secreting pituitary tumor! Cushing’s Disease. I suffered for 20 yrs with a dozen lazy doctors thinking that I was fat and lazy, maybe even bipolar. Not an uncommon misdiagnosis. I’m 20 months post op. The recovery process is worse than the disease. The cortisol withdrawals have been compared to heroine. Most of the weight is off without trying, bp normalized as soon as they dug the nugget out of my head, and the last 6 months my A1C is down to pre-diabetic levels. May sleep has greatly improved. However, the fatigue, depression and anxiety are still with me. No antidepressants have worked in the past, maybe now? I’ve been doing TMS treatments, it’s better than nothing but it doesn’t last and isn’t pleasant. I’m considering Spravato. Even if I got some relief and needed continued treatment, it would be a better experience than having my head zapped the rest of my life! You seem to know more about the HPA axis and how it affects mental health and brain function than all the experts treating me. Your knowledge could be invaluable to the Cushing’s community. We need help regulating and repairing our HPA axis, cognition and trauma. Cushing’s is notorious for recurrence and I feel like the only that I can do to prevent that is keep stressors from affecting my cortisol levels. Thoughts? Do you want to write a book with me?!! My road to PTSD and Cushing’s! I would greatly appreciate any help you have to offer!!
I agree. It is so frustrating when doctors do not recognize the impact of trauma and HPA-Axis dysfunction. And yes, HPA-Axis dysfunction is associated with alterations in Thyroid and pituitary hormones.

Thank you for saying not abnormal. I would like to change in the DSM v that mourning is depression. That is separate and wrong imo. Socially, it spells out a problem picture. Explain the body odor chemical scent of stressors from mourning and the difference from gym physical activity. That affects everyone. Dare there. You haven't touched on treatment scent yet.
I thoroughly agree. Especially, after the Medical NIGHTMARE & "TRaumatic Ordeal"/$NAFU & "Institutional Betrayal/s" my poor, late husband (& I/ were) was put through. OMG! Outrageous & Unbelievable, "TL." Failures! 😱 MRSA in a Bone CA pt's Brain, a LOST Biopsy, Even Surviving* Neuro-ICU; w/ 💔💔💔 Unknown Resuscitations! + OUT OF HIS MIND, nearly 2 months, in 3 facilities. 💔 Fluently speaking his gram's foreign dialect, 'subconsciously'! -- All the Psych Tests & EVAL, All the Art Supplies & Speech Tx+ ... Then,* when he's supposed to be "as good as he's gonna get," his own Dr. Kills him! 🙀😱💔😭 Interesting on the Olfactory INFO. I haven't kept up in that area. I'll have to check into it. Thank you
So.......what kinda doctor must I seek out to get therapy like this? a psychaitrist or psychologist who specialize in cptsd and panic attacks/anxiety? or??? my family doctor doesnt know anything it seems to me.
Would you please consider updating your channel name to something Siri can understand easily with voice command?

I have chronic ptsd. My blood work shows such high stress hormones. Doctor thinks its mental. How do i balance them? Im in counseling weekly. Please help
I've been diagnosed with PTSD doctor Benedict and 2015 do two long trauma and stress of things I was going through with the state of Maryland and the last year- half I didn't pay it any attention in the beginning that I was having moments that we with it and then not with it I was too busy trying to keep my apartment and not be evicted eventually in the last last year off and on I really lost my memory could not remember anything all I can recall is being afraid of the people who bothers me a friend of mine's reached out to me a few weeks ago and said I put things on the internet and I have no recollection of that this was a friend of mine Joe he said my friend William told him this I would have never done such a thing except the stuff that I've dealt with with the system for years can someone please explain to me is this normal for someone to lose their memory for year and then have little flashbacks after years of trauma I've only met one other person that said she lost about two years of her memory due to Long trauma due to PTSD
@Lively Stones Memory is garbage, I'm hyper sexual like all the time distractingly so, I cant learn new things Really. Whenever I workout my sex drive skyrockets. This feel like the closest I've been in awhile to being able to explain it
Something like 20 years ago I had 24 plus $1,000 every 3 weeks with my own business residential framing company and any shortcomings was nothing but mirror inconvenient As for the last 20 years a recluse in reclusion, with cabin fever x 20,000 what leads me to this video trying to diagnose myself because life seems like a total shortcoming of long suffering As I wonder why is it after 20 years, is there so much mountain pressure as the doctor has informed me sometime ago my mind is just now waking up from brain fog due to the trauma that I have experienced Just wondering is that possible to wake up after 20 years from brain fog and to realize how far behind the curb you have to come oh good grief
@@DocSnipes I enjoyed it. Might have asked this before: ...would you know of sources that link experiences to activate epigenetics... that open genes to transcription, that then make appropriate protien that thus then dictate function?! (how much does this determine our behaviour?) And if there is a comparison-of interest... somewhere between these mechanics(their determanism(?)) and theory of free-will... Are things in some instances... just our choice? Choosing change... *the talk was very informative. Thank you.

I have trouble focussing and so I was going to make bullet points from the transcript - unfortunately there isn't one! Is it possible to get the transcript and slides please?
I'm not sure if every phone has this but mine, in my settings, has a setting to turn on captions for every video. I use it when I'm a bit too tired to listen.
Any thoughts on trauma and the development of Cushing’s Disease? I’ve had several traumas from childhood on, I’ve been diagnosed with PTSD for years. I had sudden unexplained weight gain, depression/anxiety, eventually developed metabolic syndrome and then 2 yrs ago I had terrible brain fog, I thought I was getting Alzheimer’s. No, 17mm ACTH secreting pituitary tumor! Cushing’s Disease. I suffered for 20 yrs with a dozen lazy doctors thinking that I was fat and lazy, maybe even bipolar. Not an uncommon misdiagnosis.
I’m 20 months post op. The recovery process is worse than the disease. The cortisol withdrawals have been compared to heroine. Most of the weight is off without trying, bp normalized as soon as they dug the nugget out of my head, and the last 6 months my A1C is down to pre-diabetic levels. May sleep has greatly improved. However, the fatigue, depression and anxiety are still with me. No antidepressants have worked in the past, maybe now?
I’ve been doing TMS treatments, it’s better than nothing but it doesn’t last and isn’t pleasant. I’m considering Spravato. Even if I got some relief and needed continued treatment, it would be a better experience than having my head zapped the rest of my life!
You seem to know more about the HPA axis and how it affects mental health and brain function than all the experts treating me.
Your knowledge could be invaluable to the Cushing’s community. We need help regulating and repairing our HPA axis, cognition and trauma. Cushing’s is notorious for recurrence and I feel like the only that I can do to prevent that is keep stressors from affecting my cortisol levels.
Thoughts? Do you want to write a book with me?!! My road to PTSD and Cushing’s!
I would greatly appreciate any help you have to offer!!
I agree. It is so frustrating when doctors do not recognize the impact of trauma and HPA-Axis dysfunction. And yes, HPA-Axis dysfunction is associated with alterations in Thyroid and pituitary hormones.
Tack!
Wow! Thanks so much for the tip! I really appreciate it, and you watching the channel. :)
Very helpful, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Can I ask you, does this also relate to Functional Neurological Disorder? I’m trying to know more about my friend’s condition
I’m in nyc. Wish I lived in Australia sigh. ❤️ to all.
I'm in Australia. Cairns Qld....I'm in shocking emotional pain and wishing myself on the moon lol🤗
UA-cam inserting two commercials before the video has played to 0.11 second mark...really?
We make the videos free to you and have to earn revenue to be able to continue to create them. The videos that have an external sponsor will have a promo for that sponsor at the beginning. You can fast forward through it if you like.
Thank you for saying not abnormal. I would like to change in the DSM v that mourning is depression. That is separate and wrong imo. Socially, it spells out a problem picture. Explain the body odor chemical scent of stressors from mourning and the difference from gym physical activity. That affects everyone. Dare there. You haven't touched on treatment scent yet.
I thoroughly agree.
Especially, after the Medical NIGHTMARE & "TRaumatic Ordeal"/$NAFU & "Institutional Betrayal/s" my poor, late husband (& I/ were) was put through. OMG!
Outrageous & Unbelievable, "TL." Failures! 😱 MRSA in a Bone CA pt's Brain, a LOST Biopsy, Even Surviving* Neuro-ICU; w/ 💔💔💔 Unknown Resuscitations! + OUT OF HIS MIND, nearly 2 months, in 3 facilities. 💔
Fluently speaking his gram's foreign dialect, 'subconsciously'! -- All the Psych Tests & EVAL, All the Art Supplies & Speech Tx+ ... Then,* when he's supposed to be "as good as he's gonna get," his own Dr. Kills him! 🙀😱💔😭
Interesting on the Olfactory INFO. I haven't kept up in that area. I'll have to check into it.
Thank you
So.......what kinda doctor must I seek out to get therapy like this? a psychaitrist or psychologist who specialize in cptsd and panic attacks/anxiety? or??? my family doctor doesnt know anything it seems to me.
Mourning remains
Would you please consider updating your channel name to something Siri can understand easily with voice command? I need to be hands free most of the time I can access your material, but my voice commands are resulting in frustration with Siri and postponed listening. Thought I'd ask. I love your lectures. Thank you!
We are thinking of renaming the channel. We need to do a little more research on any downsides with UA-cam.
I have chronic ptsd. My blood work shows such high stress hormones. Doctor thinks its mental. How do i balance them? Im in counseling weekly. Please help
It is not weird how clinical information doesn't prepare one clinical appointments?
Sources for this would be incredible

Thanks for sharing and watching. Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.

Can we die from stress?
I answered your other comment. Sounds like you should start working with a local, professional counselor.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What can you do to help resolve this?
@Lively Stones Memory is garbage, I'm hyper sexual like all the time distractingly so, I cant learn new things Really. Whenever I workout my sex drive skyrockets. This feel like the closest I've been in awhile to being able to explain it
I will put out a video on Trauma Recovery. Keep an eye on the channel. Thanks for watching.
Lively Stones literally feels like I just read about myself 😩 you’re not alone!

Does medicinal cannabis help regulate your HPA axis?
Something like 20 years ago I had 24 plus $1,000 every 3 weeks with my own business residential framing company and any shortcomings was nothing but mirror inconvenient
As for the last 20 years a recluse in reclusion, with cabin fever x 20,000 what leads me to this video trying to diagnose myself because life seems like a total shortcoming of long suffering
As I wonder why is it after 20 years, is there so much mountain pressure as the doctor has informed me sometime ago my mind is just now waking up from brain fog due to the trauma that I have experienced
Just wondering is that possible to wake up after 20 years from brain fog and to realize how far behind the curb you have to come oh good grief
Thanks for watching.
Neurophysiology seems as complicated as making a proper Bollognaise.
Thanks for watching.

I enjoyed it.
Might have asked this before:
...would you know of sources that link experiences to activate epigenetics... that open genes to transcription, that then make appropriate protien that thus then dictate function?!
(how much does this determine our behaviour?)
And if there is a comparison-of interest... somewhere between these mechanics(their determanism(?)) and theory of free-will...
Are things in some instances... just our choice? Choosing change...
*the talk was very informative.
Thank you.
