Mixed feelings and such driving me insane.

This is kind of starting to freak me out......to my knowledge I have had and have PTSD, Anxiety and Depression symptoms. But for the past couple days I've been either way more on edge/anxious/restless than usual or feeling totally and completely empty and numb and its like there's little room in my mind to think about anything else. I mean yes I do have ways of keeping this under control right now, but I don't imagine its just going to decrease on its own I hope so though because I really don't want to have to commit myself to a psych ward or something.

And its especially frustrating because I finally did find a promising job opportunity, but it seems my mental state had already decided to take a turn for the worst........otherwise I might just be over-analyzing and freaking out over nothing, just does not feel like nothing.

Do you think it's the job that is causing your anxiety to spike? That can be overwhelming by itself..

Well I don't even have the job yet, if I do it its going to be starting sometime next month.....seems within my capabilities and I don't mind the person I would be working with either. I just found out about this yesterday though, this intense state of mind stared before I found out about the job opportunity.

I mean to be honest last night I got drunk because of how I felt I was so on edge and anxious feeling but numb and empty at the same time and couldn't take it any longer so I got drunk. But uhh I don't always have access to mind altering substances like that and cannot very well function if I constantly feel like I'm about ready to go off the deep end.

That sucks, I feel for ya. One thing you might try is Holy Basil/ Tulsi supplements. They are fairly mild, completely legal, and you can get them at health food stores or online pretty cheap. They don't knock you out, just slow your head from spinning quite so fast.

That may be something to look into, but yeah I've just never felt like this for over a day....usually I am kind of on edge and can have anxiety attacks pretty easily but I don't feel like I am constantly on the verge of either an anxiety attack or mental breakdown all the time. I just don't even know what the hell set this off so intensely.
