Hi Yogi,
I've tried to read your symptoms, but I've been in such a bad place lately that I haven't been able to make it through. I was rejected for a job that I really thought I'd get, and it really threw me into a tailspin. The depression/anxiety have taken firm hold and I'm having trouble functioning. I keep having breakdowns of tears and hopelessness. This is the worst I've ever been emotionally, between the episode I had a couple of weeks ago and now. At my therapy appt. on Thurs. I was a puddle of tears and defeat. Kept thinking I wanted to be admitted to the hospital for a rest. Had to take a couple of Ativan to get some relief. Ditto last night. I'm afraid of becoming addicted, but my body/mind can only take so much. I don't know what's happening, but I'm really, really scared. I've never felt quite this beaten/hopeless/helpless before and it's very frightening. Physical symptoms--stabbing headaches, brain inflammation (that pushing against the skull feeling), knee pain, neck soreness, muscle cramping in my legs, loose stools. Thank God the insomnia seems to have gone away for now. But I'm frightened. What if I go over the edge and can't get ahold of myself again?
