So please... share your worst symptoms or variety of symptoms, if you wouldn't mind.

Worst symptoms? (You asked for it....)
Full-on panic. I mean literally rolling on the ground, unable to control my movements, screaming my lungs bloody, thrashing, vomiting, unable to speak (or if I can, it comes out like glossolalia ["speaking in tongues"].)
My usual state is hyper-awareness, hyper-arousal, feeling sick in my stomach, shaking uncontrollably, etc. That's my daily experience, anyway. I can't take medication because it knocks me out.
I guess I wonder if anyone else is like this or should I be in a padded room or something?
