Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Sometimes I find myself zoning out... Just staring At nothing in particular But straight forward to a specific Spot At the same time, and I get lost... No thoughts, no blinking, not a single move. I just stay there standing up Or sitting like That for a while, prob a minute Or Too.
Other times i just sit with my forehead against the wall Or just sit on the floor and stare At the wall and same thing... Like I can't get myself to get up.
Deciding to move is just Too hard... I think twice before I can even convince myself That I should get up and get things done.
When I do move I get Too tired and my body aches... I'm weak But That could be cuz I can't handle food. Can't eat much without throwing up since 2013 (not on purpose).
The confusing part is... I've been much worse than this when It comes to depression But is was different You know?
Anybody else here That relates?
I could hear my surroundings and aware but I do not blink or move. Its like paralysis. I cannot respond to anyone or anything when it happens.
Me nor my family knew what it was or why it happens. It wasn't until my diagnosis of MS in January of 2015 that my neurologist, during our discussion of this topic, uncovered it as a form of seizure. Captured on the EEG test.
Years ago my therapist said it was my brains way of protecting me under extreme situations going on in my subconscious mind.
