I can't seem to make people understand what it is, but I'm basically paralyzed, non-functional... Like I can't even decide what to eat, what to do... I just know that I need it to STOP!

The same thing happens with me - almost a complete brain shutdown, it seems that I have no brain with which to think or move around.
