I think the hardest symptom for myself (with my mood disorder) is the lack of control.
The times when I am well, there was no consideration of whether I am going to sleep, or whether I would find any meaning in my life.
Sometimes I wish my brain would take over like that again. That something more powerful than me would take control.
I know for some people, that feeling is god. But I just don't feel that right now.
Maybe depression is like emotional parkinson's disease. Maybe there is a constant emotional tremor which results of lack of inhibitory control of limbic brain regions.

So, in retrospect, did it start with the phosphatidyl serine?
Or have you revised that opinion?
Around then was the start of this?

It doesn't have to be God.
It can be when you dipense with some level of falsity and come across something more true in yourself.

Actually yes, I think it did start with the PS. However, perhaps some initial instability caused me to try the PS. Ususally I don't take supplements when I feel like myself.

It keep thinking that I am going to 'lose control'. That I am going to lose control of my thoughts and actions - turn into some kind of psychotic mad man and loose control of my actions and hurt somebody or develop Tourette's and start shouting out expletives. Part of my diagnosis is severe painic disorder and GAD so I guess it's just the anxiety manifesting itself. Well, that's what I hope anyway.

God? Maybe that's what some call it.
I think some people have the fabulous good fortune to be able to take their well-being for granted, so much so it's colorless as air.
I've wanted god. I still want something to hold myself together for me. Like being born w/o a vital organ.
But that's me. I would be happy to have a body that just worked like the majority: sleep when tired, awake ready to participate in humanity in a more public way.
I am sorry, if I am correct, that despair has come around again.

Reading that saddened me. Can't remember when I last "felt like myself" and that's it. You can't feel in control if you are not "yourself."
