Thanks to you, @Fuzzybear for mentioning me.

I am a bit torn over what should I do. Should I give the entrance examination for med school because I don't think a PhD will help people and fulfill my passion for science. Or should I just finish what I've started and do a PhD instead.

Other than that, I am fine I guess.

I am wondering about my anger towards myself...
is this anger really about me...or someone else...
I think of my angry feelings about my wife and how she treats me...
sometimes she is not very kind but very critical...
I admit I am very sensitive to other people criticizing me...

In the face of personal criticism I tend to emotionally freeze. Only afterwards do I react. I think.

This makes me angry at myself, at my traits and reactions. I also suppose it involves anger at my critic, but that anger is usually buried. Every once in a while some buried anger makes its way to the surface.

I understand your wise words Rohag.

I wish I knew why we emotional freeze.

Don't know how to deal with my hunger problem. It's sure going to make me very fat if I continue eating so much.
Feeling hopeless.
I went through that too. I started eating "negative calorie" food like celery and lettuce. It filled me up so I didn't eat junk between meals.

I want to scream! The pharmacy all of a sudden says my Prozac isn't covered under insurance and it will cost me $600. !!!! I've got to get this straightened out.

As I understand it, your mind is withdrawing from and avoiding the stressor. It's a (maladaptive) coping/protective mechanism.

Aren't they all?

We've all heard of the fight or flight reflex. What isn't as generally well known is that anxiety can trigger a fight, flight or FREEZE reaction.

I tend to do the last one. It's so bad at times I don't even get the normal physical symptoms -- which is a huge problem with regard to the standard diagnostic tests. But I experience agonizing internal suffering and then shut down.

Or you could be getting triggered and overwhelmed by your emotions ... so your mind tries to shut it out.

In any event, in the absence of more effective responses, it's your psyche doing it's poor best to protect yourself the only way it knows how.
