During that period, I also experienced bouts of dissociative symptoms (depersonalization/derealization and even hallucinations, blackouts, and delusions, to a degree). It was a rough period, but I eventually transitioned out of it.
Please don't let anyone minimize your strife and the intensity of what you are going through. I don't mean that you don't need help. Just the opposite. Just don't let any therapist or psychiatrist laugh it off.

Thankfully increasing Seroquel and adding Navane put my head back on earth. I’m fine now just being close to Rod Stewart in his forums (although I must admit I am still listening to that song on repeat a bit irrationally). But, the music thing, I meant the lyrics mostly in these songs. While the music is incredibly touching, the lyrics focus on anxiety and depression. Ani Difranco’s Jukebox pretty much sums up my current thoughts and feelings in both music and lyric and so I have been listening to it a lot. Like I just mentioned, I often have delusions and obsessions about music. It is often a telling sign that I am/am getting sick.
