So I'm pretty much mute again. "Good morning", "good night" and "I love you". Is pretty much all I'm actually saying. I'm withdrawn and a bit angry. I bought board games to interact with my husband but he hasn't offered to play. I'm to scared he'll say no to ask him or he'll hate the games and not have fun.

I don't know if I'm getting depressed or if I'm retreating into psychosis?

I hate this.

Nobody here can diagnose you, but from what you describe it sounds like depression. I'm assuming you talk more at other times, specifically stabler times? What makes you wonder if it is psychosis? If it was catatonic mutism, I highly doubt you'd be asking this or even posting here, let alone saying "Good morning" or "Good night".

Now if what you said was inappropriate to the situation, maybe psychosis or trauma/brain damage could be possible causes. For example:

Someone: "What's wrong?"

You: "Good morning"

Someone: "Why did you say Good morning?"

You: "Good night"

Someone: "Are you joking with me?"

You: "I love you"

OR,

Someone: "Good morning"

You: "Good morning"

Someone: Tea with sugar"

You: "Tea with sugar. Tea with sugar."

Someone: "I am a big purple gnat"

You: " I am a big purple gnat. Tea with sugar. Good morning."

It's best that you ask any questions about diagnoses to your psychiatrist.

Hope you feel better soon!

That's more interaction than when I become depressed and withdrawn. But anyway, it does seem to be depression.

I'm not good at telling when I'm sable and not. Amount of talking goes up and down.

What makes you wonder if it is psychosis?

The withdrawing, confusion and not being able to find the words to actually talk.

I'm not saying things inappropriately.
It's more like:

Someone: "What's wrong?"

You: (shrug)

I see Pdoc in Sept.

Sounds like depression. By the way, depression can be psychotic. But this sounds like straight depression.

Over the years this is your “typical presentation “ of depression. Of course it could be something else.

If your just quiet it’s likely your husband would love to play a game with you , it would be healthy for you, get you out of your own head for a while.

That's a relief guys thanks. I wish I had better insight but until then I have you guys.

Some time spent playing games would probably do you good. Maybe it would bring on a laugh. You already invested the effort to buy them. The worst thing that could happen would be that your husband doesn't like it as you stated. Is that really so awful? It would only last for a period of time and then he would return to normal. The consequence of him not enjoying himself is low risk. You would need to be able to snap out of the state you're in though to play. Part of the fun is playing with someone capeable of having a good time. You can do it! If you want to give it a try, don't over think it and just allow yourself to try to be free for a few moments. You could even be honest with your husband and tell him you're trying to have some fun to help pull yourself out of the depression you're in and that you have a fear he won't like the games. That might help him try his best to keep your feelings in mind as you go.

Have you tried tracking you symptoms? I wonder if that would help you see some patterns and develop some insight. Games sound like a good idea. I love games. What kind are your favorite?

[Victoria'smom]

Have you tried tracking you symptoms?

I use to track it but I go from tracking all the time to a time or two a day depending to how quiet I'm. I tend to get stuck in my head. If I do it and show a T it usually ends in a talk about IOP. So I no longer do it,

What kind are your favorite?

I got 10 min heist and tiny epic defenders. I like quick deduction games.
