I got tired of the roller coaster and was finally diagnosed in 1996. It was the best thing I ever did!

you nailed it! I felt amazing this morning. then around mid afternoon I was driving down the highway to go look at a car and started get very very terrible feelings. like ice cold feet, sweety palms, dizzy, shaky nasty feelings. I don't know how else to describe it. I started thinking about mortality and other negative things still feeling speedy like the back end of a coke binder... with out the drugs. now I am at home it's about 4:06pm and I just want to put my pj's on and sleep... I still have a headache I feel warn down physically my mind is still racing though. and it on and on day in day out like that unless I get really depressed then I just shut myself in my room and give up. It's like a constant cycle of this and then pulling yourself up by your boot straps and getting back to it.
