When I crashed I felt physically exhausted, I mean, barely able to move...body pain, bad headache/migraine. I felt seriously unwell.

By the time I hit thirty I felt too old to play that game anymore, so I've stay on my meds.

It sounds like you believe you have a mental illness, but have not yet been diagnosed? If that's the case, please have a full physical, lab work, etc. If all is well, talk with a psychiatrist. Please be smart. Don't be seduced by the "mystery" of mental illness. Ultimately, there is nothing grand about MI.

I agree with her.
