does this happen

wonderong if it happens to others when you start to tell or remember somethings that you feel suddenly like you will fsll asleep against your own will?

yep. we call it our coma sleep.

Yes kathy. It feels sometimes like I am hypnotized and heavy with the weight of it all. It has happened after T sessions driving home. It is scary.

((((( ka )))))

feels like the anesthesa you get before the ECT and you cant stay awake wether you like it or not

i dont want to have a coma sounds pretty horrible - I never have

It's okay sweetie...you wont have a coma.

You keep talking to us here.

Petunia

yes, kathy. i can actually feel it "shutting down" like when i feel myself falling asleep when i don't want to (i.e. church).

i only do that under EXTREME circumstance, though. mostly i feel very "floaty" or "melding into things with pattern (i.e. carpet in t's office).

be safe,

I have had this for as long as I can remember. As I have become more healthy it occurs less frequently. Playing possum, shutting down, not being there, leaving.Petunia, I used to have the sleeping prob after T, no longer. This T sees it starting and can mostly help me come back. I also have had times of total paralysis. I hate that more. Scarey.

I get tired and heavy. Sometimes my speech slurs and I have passed out of consciousness. I also find i go into trances (my therapist calls this getting stuck) where i cant move, my eyes are stuck open and its like im just not there.

I have aslo been speaking and then half way through a sentence feel like if I dont lie down like a lump of metal i will fall down.

Its frightening.
