Ohhh, yeah. Its like a ball and chain, to me. The overall effect kind of sneaks up on you, though...hard to describe. subtle, in a way. I only realized how bad it was when one day, I was feeling unusually chipper...I was doing a very physical job for a customer that I usually dreaded doing, because it was so physically demanding. (literally, an "uphill, both ways" situation), and I did it in an unusually short amount of time...as I was wrapping things up, I was huffing and puffing...(but in a good way...kind of "exilarated"), I noticed my heart rate was kind of fast, and then it dawned on me: I forgot my pill thismorning.
Thanks for all this info. I knew I had been feeling off since my "heart attack", but I couldn't really put a finger on it. I can relate EXACTLY to the story you told.

hmmm. I'm no doc, but I can't help but wonder...considering the amount of stress you've been under, if this wasn't an anxiety-induced attack, and might be something you can put behind you one day. Among other things, I think that living under your in-laws' thumb is harming you, much more than you realize.
Yeah, when I was talking to the doc at my appt recently, he asked if I was under a lot of stress at work. I said not really, I love my job, but I did mention I had some family issues and just kinda nodded his head and moved on.

yeah. we call that the "beta-blocker fog".
Hmmm, I have had that swirling thing while depressed before, but it does seem a bit amplified lately.

oh, and, good luck with the basketball. (I'm trying not to laugh to hard at the thought of myself doing that. wonder if there's some way to incorporate a barcalounger into that activity?)
Perhaps use the Barcalounger as a stepping off point for a massive slam dunk?
