Not really, well... recently after an east coast trip, I now stay away from major metropolis (inner city) for no apparent reason..?
Refraining or starting to find it hard to sleep at certain time's ?
This is an OMG moment! It is harder for me to sleep anymore.. I mean once I'm asleep, I stay asleep, but once I'm awake, there is no falling back
asleep.. Such as today, I woke up at 5:00 (Saturday?!) and I couldn't fall back asleep after only getting 5.5 hrs of sleep..? Does that mean
anything?
Diminished interest in previously enjoyed activities for example camping ?
Not really, still enjoy it, but I wouldn't like to live in a tent..
Hyper-vigilance, exaggerated startle response, irritability, and/or panic attacks ?
Yes, many of my friends and peers have ADD/ADHD. It seems, at least to me, when I step back and evaulated myselft, it almost seems I have a mild form
of ADD. I can't concentrate on one thing anymore. I used to be able to sit down and read a book or 3+ hours, but ever since the summer came about, I
can't. My friends have commented that I am more hyper than usual too.
The one thing that you mentioned that caught my attention was hyper-vigilance. I have actually gone into my practitioner, and asked him about
something.
My ears, and I have become extremely sensitive to footsteps, and wind. If I am inside, I can almost hear the wind outside. Its a weird sensation,
anyone heard of it?
These may seem extremely weird to some people, but I may be due to my lack of sleep. At my camp I staffed, was an intensive leadership, two week deal.
I got 5-hours a sleep a day, and led an extremely active day being a staffer. It didn't help that I didn't get a ton of food either.
I would appreciate any comment.
Thanks
