> What do you do when all that you can think of doing is banging your head against the wall so that it nubs the pain and the thoughts?>Sadly,I have no answers, but I know exactly how you feel...times like that I even find myself resenting(hating?)people I see who seem to feel "normal" and I swear some day I'm going to smash the TV if I see one more commercial for some drug that "makes me feel like myself again". It's been so long since I've felt normal I'm not sure I would recognize it if it came up and bit me. However, tomorrow is another day and there is always some new med to try. I have found that Tai Chi, meditation and deep relaxation techniques help a bit ( though sometimes meditation can trigger a panic attack...how's that for irony?) Hang in there is all I can say and know you're not alone. Worrier.
