Discussion Anyone else’s movements feel super heavy and sluggish?

[lastappleonearth]

For a while now all my movements have been feeling extremely heavy and sluggish in a way. To a point where even people around me started noticing and asked me why I move so weirdly. I'm 99.99% sure that this is psychological, because when I'm on benzos, this disappears completely.
It's fascinating really how much our mind affects our body. But yeah, it sucks, everything feels so tense all the time.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I get this feeling off and on. I think the first time it happened I was like, ten years old or something. I just think it's the depression like my body loses all strength and energy to the point I can't even mask it anymore. Maybe the intensity of everything gets too much and a little off-switch get's triggered. It's difficult for me to speak/respond to people when I'm like that.

look up Catatonia or Psychomotor retardation and see if you relate to any of those other symptoms. i think Catatonia would be resolved with benzos and makes sense

I hope you can eventually get rid of it somehow. For me it is pretty constant, well except when I'm on Xanax. But yeah, has been like this for a couple of years now, it's pretty uncomfortable

Thx, I'll look it up

I looked it up and basically everything applies. I need to get an appointment with a psychiatrist somehow
