There's a nervous pit in my stomach that I can't seem to make go away.

For the last two weeks, I think I've been going insane. It's disconcerting to say the least, especially because I never considered myself an entirely sane individual to begin with. But lately my head just won't fucking shut off. I'm blurring lines between thoughts and reality and

Man, anxiety can just drive you nuts, I know. ::hug::

Erm you haven't started any new medications, have you? When I was first depressed they tried to give me Zoloft, and just a tiny bit made my stomach feel tight all the time and I was shaky and freaking out at every little thing. Getting off that helped tremendously.

I'm actually against medications of any kind, and won't take them unless they are absolutely necessary. This is just something I'll sort out on my own.

I can dig it! Not everyone wants to take drugs. :)

Well, this may sound cheesy, but have you tried any relaxation techniques like yoga, or meditation -- something to maybe help clear your mind?

And if you don't mind taking vitamins, make sure you're getting enough B12. Lack of it can cause anxiety and hallucinations, and it's found mostly in animal products, so if you're a vegetarian like me, you may be at risk of being short.

Erm, sorry, trying to be helpful. I hate to think of you being upset and not know ing why. :hug:

I'm sure I could probably do with some vitamins. Usually when this sort of thing hits me, I just try to take it easy. Play some games, watch some movies, read...indulge in my favorite pastimes. Hang around my roommate or go see my family to keep me grounded.

I'm seriously grateful, though. It's frustrating yes, but putting it down helps me to acknowledge that it's just my head fucking with me, so I can give it a rattle and say 'stop it'. Thanks for being concerned, and don't worry, I'll be fine. I always am.
