Totally with you on these symptoms.

The frustrating thing about the self-absorption is that I feel as if things would be better if I could shift my focus off my problems and onto something more worthy.

But if I don't focus on my problems I "sink" rather quickly. I find that a huge amount of self-absorption is required just to make it through each day without any major mishaps.

Both of these symptoms improve with time, though. (Don't you just hate that phrase - improve with time?!)

Partial list of symptoms: (Physical - noise/light sensitivities, balance problems, headaches, sleeplessness) (Mental - brain fog, severe lack of awareness, difficulty expressing ideas - or thinking in the first place!, struggle with simple problems) (Emotional - anger, depression, inability to handle/control emotions) (Social - generally inept - thanks to everyone for allowing me to "practice" some social and communication skills on this forum)
