Brain hyperactivity?
Your active mind is not a pathology, but the fact that you have some difficulty sleeping and are sometimes socially awkward in conversation suggests that you have stimulus overload. Stimulus overload may take many forms, but most common is too much information. Information leads to deliberation, deliberation to obsession –especially when too many variables are at play and outcomes are uncertain. We live in a world of information overload. Aside from a complete life overhaul, fruitful practices to quiet the mind are meditation and disciplined sleep habits. I recommend Lipman’s book, Better Sleep, Better You. READ MORE
Someone please help?
You are a young man who had a harmful drug experience. The interaction effects of drugs are poorly understood, and you appear to have had a severe apnea experience. Not being able to breathe is life-threatening and certainly impresses a strong memory. When conditions trigger the memory, fear and anxiety likely accompany the memory. Steps to take: You may be suffering from sleep apnea and may need the assistance of a CPAP machine at least as an interim measure. See a sleep specialist. In addition, I strongly recommend psychotherapy for support and guidance. READ MORE
