1. Yesterday's sudden ramp-up in crazy did have a specific trigger, when I went looking for it, and was my brain shouting at me that something specific was wrong and I needed to pay attention to it. Hurrah that the escalation-wossname still works.

2. I worked out why it escalated that rapidly, too, from a fairly innocuous starting-point.

3. It is still the case that when I work out What The Problem Is the screaming crazy deescalates pretty rapidly.

4. In point of fact I had spent several days beforehand feeling mildly uncomfortable about tangentially-related-thing, which is probably a sign that I need to pay more attention to mild discomfort rather than assuming it'll go away (or arises because of Me Being Unreasonable as opposed to Me Pattern-Matching Subconsciously).

5. I've still got the baseline mads going on, but they're much more tractable baseline mads.

6. It wasn't sulking about not-a-PTSD-diagnosis; it didn't feel right, it didn't fit right, and it wasn't right. Which suggests that the baseline mads are also not about that.

7. I have mitigated the worst of the cause of the Screaming Crazy and am thinking about how to address the outstanding bits of it.

<3 Sorry for worrying you!

Thanks for the good update, and no apologies are needed. We're here in part to read about each other's lives. (Also each other's book recommendations, RSS feeds of otters, and other matters less personal.)

Is it wrong of me to be fascinated by what this says about the programmability of the brain?

This sounds very familiar. For me, recognising the issue and putting the appropriate support in place often means that whatever it is becomes abruptly less crazy-making.

So glad you are doing better xx

Oh, very good. And yes, Mildly Uncomfortable is a thing to be paid attention to, because

1) Even with the baseline level of Really Substantially Uncomfortable in your life, you deserve comfort and care

2) sometimes it is a warning sign

3) or at least something which can be addressed before it turns into A Whole Big Thing.
