or anxiety? I just copied the following from my diary and thought I would repost it here. I am curious if others have this happen to them. How do you deal with it and have you been able to overcome it?
"Not sure how to even talk about it. I wonder if it is common for others to suddenly have a flash of pain go through their abdomen and then instantly drop into despair or feelings of intense lonliness or whatever is dark and negative? This happens to me. Sometimes it can be reactionary...something was said or someone looked mad or whatever...and I have the pain and am instantly lost in deep depression and self-incrimination. At other times, the pain flashes through me and I don't know why. I will also have flashes of stinging electricity in my hands that then travel to my abdomen, leaving me feeling tentative with a sense of depression. Most often there is nothing I recognize outwardly or inwardly that precipitated this reaction. I have had this happen since a young child. This is the first time I have ever spoken of it. And I don't even know what made me think about this until last night. But, it did make me think about something @ladee had influenced me with and that was thinking about the whys of things."
