In reply to is ANXIETY the same than FEAR ??? (nm), posted by Tepiaca on December 10, 2004, at 23:07:41
I think the whole anxiety thing is a faulty fear response system. The "flight or fight" response goes wacky and basically the body pumps out adrenalin inapprioately --- it's like the regulatory system isn't regulating properly. This causes all those weird "feelings" and body sensations.
Fear is a normal and healthy part to life. Keeps us alert to possible dangers. Toxic anxiety and toxic fear is not "normal".
Just my take.....
