I really dont know what to say, people dont know hwat to respond to my posts. THey dont know how.
I go through periods of intense alertness around 6:30pm it is almost near to a fight and flight response to something that has happened in the past. I dont know what happened. I get fear and intense alertness in reaction to it. No one knows what to say to this. It feels as if reality is drifting and i have to be on the emergency alert mode to hold on. What addiction to this almost everynight, in way it is a feeling of stableness to this feeling of stimulus, i am so alert i am ready for anything. It is similar to amphetamine.
If you have seen Alien (1979) with siqorney weaver, the last scene when she is trying shut off the self destruct sequence with this alien that just killed everyone on the ship loose, running through the hallways looking with almost insanity fear. This is similar to what i feel in intense periods.
I have gone through periods of going insane before, i went to psychiatric wards, they said i have symptoms of severe anxiety, neurosis. I do this almost as a ritual, adrenaline floods my body, im almost addicted to it.
What is happening.
Matt

I don't know what is wrong with you (heck, I don't even understand what is wrong with me), but I know what a pain it is to live with this.
I know what it's like to just wish, beg, plead, pray for peace in your mind. I know what it's like to feel helpless and hopeless.
It makes my heart ache knowing someone else feels that way.
I know how horrible anxiety is; I've had depression and anxiety- I've been suicidal with depression and I still sometimes think anxiety is worse (at least my kind of anxiety) because of how uncomfortable you feel in your own skin and how odd you feel to the outside world.
It just robs you of every ounce of normalcy.
Anyway, I have no answers Matt. Just know you aren't alone. This battle is horrific. I'm slowly falling back into the pit myself right now.
I hate it.
I hate you have to endure it.
I hate anyone has to.
I will pray for you tonight!

Sorry, Spriggy, you sound so down. But maybe.....help will come to keep you away from the edge of that pit. Pull you back. Here's my hand, for starters.....:-)
> I will pray for you tonight!
And I will pray for both you and Matt...and all people who suffer with these things.
Sometimes prayer is all we've got.
