> 1) anxiety
> 2) irritability
> 3) depressionso, Im really liking this thread, and I now realize I was not nearly specific as I could be so here's take 2
1) feeling absolutely overwhelmed by the world to the point that it gets smaller and smaller and I feel like I can't even move (and so I often don't), and in there is a fear of little bits of everything, it's about a lack of safety, a fear of judgment, a fear of failure, a fear of humiliation, being incredibly self conscious, a fear of being outside and vulnerable, a fear of total and complete rejection
2) becoming fixated on things, playing them over and over and over in my head, becoming angry, losing my perspective, being short tempered, feeling like there is just too much pressure in my head, like the throttle? is running way too high and its just building up and building up but it's not really going anywhere, feeling like I am a live, buzzing wire that is dangerous to be near
3) hopelessness and helplessness, hating everything, self hatred, utter despair, my "what's the point?" phases (I think this is where I get tired of fighting number 1 especially)
