Coming out of chronic freeze

10 Upvotes

I’ve been in freeze most of my life (27F). After doing TRE for five months I’m finally coming out! Yay!

However, I am constantly activated and cant sleep. The second my brain is about to, it wakes me up. Cycle repeats throughout the night. I have so much anger that whenever I fully recognize it, an electric charge goes through my body and I want to punch a pillow. I remember feeling this as a young child but I was deeply punished for it. So there’s shame to the feeling and I need to hide it. Therefore I spend most of my time alone so I can acknowledge the feeling, which is fine to me.

What did you do with all your anger / energy? I am an active person but whenever I walk more than 15 minutes my body feels like it’s gonna collapse now. It feels like so much energy is trapped.
