It seems that depression and/or psychopharmic medications tend to induce many strange symptoms. For example, I experienced three weeks of hell in the form of severe paranoia. I would fear the roof over me would cave in on me, the car I was in would crash, and that my loved ones would die in a horrible accident. I was overcome with prolonged feelings of fear which made my body weak and shakey. But in three weeks, all of this just stopped. I thought it all very strange. These experiences which effect my emotional and intellecutual make up, and which change every few days or weeks have given me a sense of loss of control over who I am. Although I believe that we are defined completely by our biology. It is very frustrating and bewildering to constantly feel the sense that I have no say in what my fears, wants, and beliefs are.

> I never had a problem with this until diagnosed as bi-polar (manic-depressive). The thing is this--I don't feel safe in a car when someone else is driving. It's fine when I'm driving. I'm not picky about who is driving...just anyone else and I kind of go rigid and get a little frantic. Here lately, I've been trying to avoid overreacting, but my husband got lost trying to find a friends house and I lost it. Why do I keep doing this?
