Interesting dynamic ....

I feel so useless, helpless and incapable that I feel desperate to
crawl under a rock and hide.

1) The feeling is one of anxiety.. yet not exactly

.. 10 am in the morning after a good night's sleep is too early to get
choked up with anxiety. See item #3

2) Stimulants can help to escape this, yet can also make the feeling
worse. I feel paralyzed. I am looking at a 'No solution' situation.

3) Funnily ... and seemingly *MOST IMPORTANT*

My anxiety, my paralysis, my desire to run away and hide ...

... are somehow rooted in a deep, deep sense of personal
embarrassment.

I feel inescapably embarrassed and vulnerable.
I cannot shut off the embarrassment.

I feel ashamed of my own helplessness and powerlessness.

...Not sure what to do.

Shame/embarrassment in the context of guiltlessness is a throwback to
pre-medicated ADHD.

blah, blah, etc ,etc ..

No answers at the moment.

it helps to be a tree hugging eco-fanatic, first!

Raving feels about as useful and worthwhile as a grease stain.

The only remedy is to look elsewhere and otherwise.

.. I need to take a break from usenet for a while.

Take care,

Be safe, sometimes a break is a positive thing.
