It's funny that you mention jigsaw puzzles because that is my one vice that keeps me sane and focused.

Again, it IS just awful....I would discuss with your family that you are ill right now and not to take what you may say or do personally at this time. Also, I don't know what it is about the puzzles either, but they were a complete necessity for me.

I not only pulled myself out of work, but went to the hospital, because I didn't know what exactly was going on with me and I was scared. I also was afraid if I went to work like that that I would be fired.
However, now that I know these severe symptoms can happen and may reoccur in the future I would probably try to manage it a home with my Pdoc and tdoc, because being around other sick people aggravated the episode.

Sounds like a plan. During my episode they decreased my antidepressant, increased Seroquel 2-3 times and increased klonopin at bedtime and as needed through out the day.
Your Pdoc is right...this too shall pass, but it incredibly hard while going through it. Have you had these symptoms before?
