Myth: My nervous system is in conflict during anxiety attacks, would it collapse?
Fact: Many people are frightened about what might happen to them as a result of their symptoms, perhaps because of the belief that their nerves might become exhausted and they may collapse. The fight / flight response is produced chiefly through activity in the sympathetic nervous system, which is counteracted and balanced by the parasympathetic nervous system putting it back to normal.
