I voted for anxiety and OCD -- but, don't worry too much newbies, they're both much better for me than they used to be.
Meds free since June 2005.
"An initiation into shamanic healing means a devaluation of all values, an overturning of the profane world, a peeling away of inveterate handed-down notions of the world, liberation from everything preconceived. For that reason, shamanism is closely connected with suffering. One must suffer the disintegration of one's own system of thought in order to perceive a new world in the higher space."

This week it would be pressure heads all day high intensity
and other days head-banging which was intense and permanent (not inter-mittent like usedt obe)
and today is my sore toe and foot! (This will pass, WILL pass)
I think I have noticed that the pressure heads bring on the anhodeia ("batcave") and de-realisation ande-personalisation

Hi Grandma, its just mental, no physical symptoms of anxiety, I said to Sheila that I dont know if its anxiety or a milder version of akathisia, its a CONSTAN feeling of unease, sometimes stronger than others for no reason (aprt from around my cycle) its relentless and terrible, really horrific, all I do is try to get through each hour and each day.
I find it very difficult to describe the feeling, I think it hovers over my chest, and does not respond to outside stressors, I hate it more than I have ever hated anything in my life
