Ever feel a mental pain so sharp that it blocks you from doing anything?

[Kitsunefox]

I have this experience

 

[dysfunctional]

Seems to be a full time thing for me at this point.

 

[Lil_Intro_Vert]

I get to points where its like i lose the ability to talk, the anxiety is so bad i freeze up and feel like a deer in headlights. Other times i just completely lose all motivation and sit helplessly

 

[Fucking loving it]

A LOT. I fight flight or freeze and it happens .

 

[worldexploder]

All the time. Its like having mental paralysis. I get a lot of brain fog, lose motivation, and find the simplest of things a pain in the ass. This is why I lay in bed all day everyday. Feels like a horrible tooth ache inside my brain. I wish I could be sad because that would be a step up from what I'm feeling now.

Then my heart goes out to you. Wouldn't wish this shit on my worst enemy.

I have this experience

Oh yes I do too.. Just sad that no one around me understand how it feels...

Its partly in our mind.When i realized that it was in my mind, I stopped worrying as much and created another picture. Im slowly getting out of the fog. Our mind is powerful and we can trick it not to focus on the negative

 

[Sayo]

Yes. It engulfs me and I feel winded by it.

 

[I’vehadenough]

Everyday. I can't functuon. I feel buried alive

Horrible. I'm right there with you. (Written from bed on a day with such nice weather...)

 

[Lra888]

Yes. Many days I lay on my bed doing nothing, my head flooded with anxiety and depression, thoughts racing. I sometimes cannot speak to others - if I attempt a sentence I trail off because my attention is diverted by my anxiety. Cannot read : by the time I get to the end of the paragraph i've forgotten the beginning—my eyes follow the lines of text but I retain nothing. My severe depression makes me chronically exhausted.

I thought it was just me that is held inside this cage. Hopefully we get out of this one day.

how do you get through it?

how do you get through it?

Distraction, texting, youtube, sometimes the gym, I reordered a nitrogen tank to attempt ctb again soon. But I'm extremely isolated and often not really taking great care of myself. I fight with myself just to go to the grocery store. It's really tough because of the borderline personality disorder and a shit life in general.

It's still very hard to distract yourself, well for me anyway

It sounds like me, word by word.

The terror of being forced to continue living, with no way out (yet), feels like a stab right in the stomach

Same. I feel claustrophobic/trapped. Consciousness & physical existence are painful & exhausting. I never feel "happy". I have to get the fuck out of here.

I told this to my therapist yesterday- how I am at the point of not being able to function or take care of myself, no desire to continue, always mentally sick. She said I should probably be hospitalized or go into assisted living. In my head I was thinking DEATH.

 

[nzdarkshark]

I've found that I'm actually rather disconnected from reality recently - like I'm just going through it with half a consious.

You're better off dead than being hospitalized
