Umm. Sorry man. There are some good meds that can help with that, like Prazosin, which blocks norepinephrine, which is the fight-or-flight chemical. It also blocks nightmares from being remembered if taken at bedtime. And it keeps your blood pressure like, textbook perfect. If you have a doc you can ask. Good luck. I have PTSD which used to cause the same thing you have.
Growing up in a time where seeking mental health was heavily stigmatized, I haven’t sought any professional help for this. “Man up” and “Tough it out” was the rule for anything short of broken bones.
You are not the first to suggest getting help, but are the first who’s had similar experience.
I think it’s time I “Man up” and admit I need help, thank you
