Martin,

I am new here. I have found some comfort learning of others symptoms and while there are differences there are similarities.

I can tell you I found this site looking for answers about runaway anxiety and panic. It apparently is common as I see it mentioned here a lot.

I also get overwhelmed around to much activity and noise....I did fine in a couple of stores yesterday and the third one I went to had a lot of customers talking and within 5 minutes I was overloaded.

I am cold a great deal of the time.

Sleep has become irratic...some nights very little, some nights more but restless and some nights peaceful

I am starting to see some afternoons of calm and normalcy but the 2 steps forward and 1 step back theory applies.

I hope this helps even a tiny bit and remember to stay positive. If it goes like me there are times when you get down but even then you can find a way to kick yourself in the butt forward eventually.

Bud
