Occasionally, I go through a period of increased tension and anxiety, extreme sensitivity to noises even someone else speaking is disturbingly loud as well as light and colours, an inability to concentrate or read more than a few sentances or comprehend anything, I'm very tired, my forehead feels tense and my thoughts feel jumbled or oddly imaginative or paranoid to the point that I have to ignore them to function. It usually lasts for a few days to a few weeks or months and spontaneously lifts. My sleeping pattern is normal. At work I don't find it a problem except I might need to write down more in my lesson plans and refer to my notes to keep my thoughts organised (I teach) but, outside of class my mind is blank almost retarded.
This has been going on periodically since I was a teenager. I'm not much older. Sometimes I worry that I might be schizophrenic but, people with schizophrenia don't know when are sick and can't ignore it can they? Does this sound like regular anxiety?
