Re: Success Story

Yes, please, I'd like to know all your symptoms. I would be very glad to be a "stage 2." Thinking I'm at 3, I've become extremely anxious about not dipping into stage 4, which is, presumably... what? Addison's disease, or flatlining? death? I pinned myself at stage 3C/3D because my "crash" symptoms matched these stages. If I didn't count the symptoms of my crashes, I would maybe not be a 3. And yes, I am typing this, not dictating! ;)

>>> At first it was liver congestion, I'm assuming, because at 28 I was still a social drinker, and I would have two beers and get a hangover. Then anxiety hit, then insomnia. My gums started to recede, I got waaaay depressed, started smoking cigarettes. Then I quit my job and moved home.

I think something inside me was WAY off. Broken.

Around 31 I started to get panic attacks. The Depression and anxiety was non-stop at this point. I developed a social phobia and became hypervigilant, always looking at strangers to see if they were looking at me. I went from a cherub-looking guy to looking like a Manson family member, so some of them probably were looking at me.

My hair thinned out, but now it's curly and thick again. I also became a bigger wiseass then normal, winding people on CureZone up for no reason and starting fights. I think I got in a few barfights, only I can't remember them.

I could go back to work. I was a mess. Totally paranoid.
