Whenever I am truly earnest about something transcendent, like a completely revolutionary way of affirming my life, life as a whole... I begin to feel pressure. I grow hot and perhaps it is similar feelings to a physicality of anxiety, every time I breath it feels heavy, I feel immense pressure pushing down on my brain, my skull, I in the past have tried putting up with it but I had to put my mind off of it and forget such extreme focus on these matters for a time. Now that I notice I am returning in this hour, I have remembered it as an experience, and I am feeling it again. The pressure grows so difficult, but my strength will not fail, it just continues pushing. And I almost have the urge to grow ecstatic and laugh, like at those early hours of the morning where the brain is supposed to be dreaming, and you just laugh and have these gushes of emotions quickly for no more than a few seconds, or occasionally a more continuous subtle experience.

I've had an array of "spiritual" experiences and what would be called psychological revelation, though not adept at all in any of them or spirituality itself. It drains one.

Please help.
