Last night as I lay in bed, I was overwhelmed with a feeling of entrapment. I remained calm and still on the outside, but my thoughts were racing and I felt like a giant Bengal Tiger that had just been netted. I felt the stinging jabs of prods and snare poles. I felt the urge to thrash, lunge, tear, and I was determined to escape, suffering injury or death trying. I eventually fell asleep.

Still convinced that you don't have any mental disturbance?
(Sorry, I forget the exact language you used. I'm working with the meaning that I recall.)

Is this your mind telling you what the medicines are for?
How were you able to stay still on the outside? It sounds pretty intense
p.s. I love tigers. They are my favorite wild animal. (except elephants)

Rooooooaar! I am a sexy beast- Yeah!
Honestly, you got me thinking about whether or not I have any problems in my head other than cognitive or behavioural, Lar. Don't get me wrong, I think you did me a great favor. It just threw me into a spin and I am not sure where i am going. I am not sure where I am compared to where I have been. I have posted a lot recently about quitting meds for a while. It seems like they have quit working. I haven't been any more proactive in treatment other than asking my doctor "Can you make me feel like this or that." Yes alcohol is a major factor, and drug abuse was, hence more reason to doubt any neurosis. I went through depression...of a disorder type I don't know. I fit the criteria for BP (and probably others) but now I doubt that diagnosis. I'm sure I meet the criteria of others too. That doesn't mean I have any of them. How many possible combinations can there be?
I was able to stay calm because there wasn't anything I could do about it at the time. I'm tired, I have a cold, I'm in my pajamas, and I have to work in the morning. Even if I did escape, I havent really escaped because I don't know what I am escaping from or where I am escaping to...
