Quite long...for months maybe. I don't know what triggered it, maybe it's because of relationship problems...I've become hopeless, lowered self-esteem, dejected, and all-round failure. I've been trying to work around it...and it hasn't gotten worse, but it hasn't gotten better either...I'm stuck in a rut. I keep on trying to forget, but I end up not getting any work done at all!! Because I keep trying to face the problem, and then I just don't know how to make it go away! And it's distracting me from work! And if I cannot work....that's heading for a disastrous future.

I am scared and I'm worried, but i think you're right to an extent. Maybe I'm so stressed I'm frozen now. I just zone out and stop doing anything. Time stands still in my head. And I can't get out!
