Today started out for me on a good path , after I did some of our rooms in our house , used the steam cleaner on the carpets, I figure a little exercise, work, get me some good, but oh no, low and behold, I got upset and had some issues with anxiety again today, along with what I think is PTSD. I stayed on the couch and watched tv and tried to get my emotions together. My heart racing at times, and at times I felt like I had to get up and move around, my hearing seemed like I could hear everything, all sounds, it seems enhanced?? does anyone experience that, as well as I felt hypervigilant by looking outside from the window now and then, the tv was playing but I wasn't paying attention to what was on, just bits and pieces, I felt on edge for three or four hours, I snapped back at my wife a few times, in as well, as if anything she tried to ask me, I just was very, on edge and I couldn't help it. I tried to relax and kept vaping on my vape pipe. I took some tylenolol, an asprin for blood pressure just in case, eventually it was a whirlwind of mixed emotions and at one point I had a tear coming out my eye cause I thought shit!, is the symptoms going to get worse, what the hell. I called my pharmacy to refill that order of Trazodone, cause the Doctor a few weeks back put me on Risperodone, but nothing for anxiety or my other problems of PTSD , I took a half tab, cause mainly thats for my insomnia, and any how after a few hours, I came down from hell, and I am back to normal it seems. Cross my fingers. I just wanted to say does other feel this way at times? with the hearing bit? ect? My God what a hell day it was for me. Tommorow I want to go into the world and enjoy some peace time at a Lake I think.....
 
I get to feeling that way when I am avoiding dealing with some issue or emotion. When I feel overwhelmed, the hypervigilance and hypersensitivity to sound and movement increases. Listening to calming music, breathing, moving to a different area of house or different environment usually helps the panicky anxious feeling to subside.
