How Are You Feeling Right Now?

When I was 19 years old starting to get intrusive thoughts I thought they were voices, where I would get so overwhelmed I would hold my hands around my head and scream out loud for the thoughts to go away. There not as bad as that now.
Hope you feel better soon, but yeah, why not shout out loud, it's a release.

With the clocks going back, Im driving back from work in the dark. The deer seem to love playing chicken in the road. Came round the corner at 50 mph, large deer in centre of my lane. I braked and swerved, clipping in backside, then as I swerved saw there was another 2 deer in the road, so had to swerve the other way. I opened the window and yelled at them. They were just stood there on the side of the road like a group of unruly teenagers. I went to see if the clipped deer was okay and it was, ran off okay anyway.
I may not have braked so hard, if it was unruly teenagers. It's funny I make a joke of that, as I was like that as a teenager. We played a game called 'hunters and runners' where the whole village, about 2 mile square was the backdrop. Used to get chased or chase each other through peoples gardens, jumping over walls and that, was good fun.
I’m actually doing that at home. I try not to be too loud for the sake of the neighbors, but usually at home I will go on autopilot and often vocalize the thoughts before I realize it. I have even done it once in a grocery store because it was just spinning out of control and I couldn’t remember one item from my list for 5 seconds. But in that case it was more anxiety and I wanted to head off panic, so I put my hands on my closed eyes, took a deep breath and said,”stop it,” under my voice. I thought I was alone in that particular aisle, but someone else had shown up while I was trying to slow down mentally. I didn’t really mind or feel embarrassed- I mean, what’s he going to do about it? If I was yelling and throwing things around that would be a problem, but just stopping to practice self soothing isn’t, IMHO.

It sounds like there are too many deer in the area. How do you feel about hunting? I’ve had venison and I really like it, although I know it’s not for everyone. It has a powerful “gamey” flavor, after all they are wild game. Unfortunately I am incompatible with firearms, and the karma police don’t want me to kill an animal specifically for food.
Why the hell would you prescribe Topomax to someone having recent cognitive issues and numbness d/t a possible TIA? It's for migraine prevention, but not worth the risk; the common SEs can present identically on that particular med. Therefore, there is no way to discern which is causing what symptom. Ughh.
Deep breaths @LumberJack. Thinking of you.
