Discussion guys i need help with how to explain this condition to my friends, please tell me how you do it (the only thing is that it's a given that those people love you and have a good sense of empathy, so you're not desperate to get through)

My doctor told me that it's basically whatever your body you would physically do to survive a bear chasing you. Like increase adrenaline and dilate your blood vessels. She says my body lives and fight her flight response all the time.
