Froze

Anyone feel like they freeze up and can't get things done. I stayed home today, I have stuff I need to take care of at work and personally but I feel like I'm going to fail so I stayed in bed all day. I've been doing this a lot lately. My depression has been bad but I'm also afraid I get this feeling in my gut and I just freeze up

I did, now that I don't work, I still do, but for different things. I had sooo many different jobs because of my untreated illness. I called it unreasonable fear, and it can be so deep that I keep my breathing shallow because even my chest movement seems to be dangerous. I wonder if it is what a hiding animal feels like when a predator is close. I have no PTSD or any known reason for it.

Lately, way too often. I hate it. I do not like taking time off, but if I'm just staring at the screen not doing anything, I have to. It's mostly a work thing because I have to be productive and my mind just does not want to do anything. At home, I just go to sleep.

I currently have two incomplete classes I have to make up work for, and my current depression is holding me back, I, like you freeze up and spend way to much time isolated in the dark in my room.

It appears you are in the depressive stage now Wish I could give you a hug.

Yes, I also get some anxiety in there....It can be about really dumb stuff like making dinner.

When I get overwhelmed, I shut down involuntarily. It's a terrible feeling because it tends to spiral out of control for me and last longer than I care to admit to myself.

It does I'm home again today, I've got to get past this is have a pdoc appt tomorrow I'm hoping to change meds and see if that help out any, don't have therapy until the 18th

(((Hugs))). I can tell your struggling. The sad part is, work rarely understands these things (some people are lucky and they do). Just do your best to not feel guilty about needing time off. Feeling guilty will only fuel your desire to stay home and hide. You got FMLA and that will protect you during this time. You have it because you need it. I hope you are able to stay out of the hospital. (((Hugs)))
