I'm not sure if this belongs in ptsd but. How do you know if have a chemical imbalance ? I feel so blah 24/7 like I'm so pissed but for no reason. I'm nervous but not sure why. Easily irradiated, I just want to scream but I'm not sure that would help anything. At all I feel numb. Don't feel sad but I don't feel happy either. I feel like I'm riding a roller coaster one minute I'm some what ok the next I'm about to snap. Over stupid stuff.deep breaths only help for a few minutes then I'm pissed agqin. Idk if this is normal I don't want to feel this way at all.

Sites like this may help you understand more. Just remember....... self diagnosing is simply to use as a warning to get proper medical attention.

What I do is write out a journal using columns to help me sort through the physical symptoms that accompany the change in feelings.
How this helps is when I do sit down with the doctor, I share what I am the most uncomfortable with, and we work from that point out.
Sometimes, anger comes from sadness, and it is a different impact on your well-being.
Hope this helps you.

I just realized I have already sent you a long reply, but after reading this I would add that you might want to pay immediate attention to improving your nutritional intakes as I mentioned in the other reply. This would improve your biochemistry if you have a chemical imbalance, and bad feelings/stress can give you a chemical imbalance. I started 35 years ago with Adelle Davis' books Let's Eat Right to Keep Fit, and Let's Get Well. There is probably newer good books out there, also info at Google.
