Thanks Camille and Rompy,
Yeah, Kafka-esque sounds about right. I'm still in the land of surreal. You are both probably right that it's stress-induced. I wonder if a benzo would help me like the ativan does for rompy. I wonder what else would help. I'm trying to fend off the suicidal ideation. With everything seeming so bizarre, I'm feeling a bit detached about it. It's almost like thinking about, say, buying a car: should I get a Honda or a Toyota? Should I stay or should I go? (No, don't worry, nothing in the works tonight...).
The suggestion about grabbing something for sensation got me thinking. If I could play the piano it might help by distracting me, and providing some really hard-core and direct sensory input. Maybe I don't have the concentration for it. I don't know. 'Course I don't have a piano in my apt.....
I won't see my pdoc for another 3 weeks. If this gets more annoying, I guess I'll call her sometime next week.
