Paralysis

I feel you. As others have pointed out it is usually due to stress/being overwhelmed with stimuli. My only tip is to try to take a break and cut off one (or more), of the senses; earplugs/headphones, sitting down and closing your eyes. But this is stuff that works for me, and we are all different. Hope you are able to find pauses and peace! It's important to listen to your body and mind, or else you might get burned out (speaking from experience).

This is a stress response, a lot of feelings are happening, try to write them down, give yourself a time to allow to stop but also a time to start. It is my everyday, we can do it!!!

Stuck is so relatable

Does anyone else like not text someone back just because you don’t have the mental capacity for the simplest of conversations? Or is it just me?

I disabled the notification badges because seing the numbers of emails/text creeping up fed my anxiety

There are texts I send to people, half finished. Hours, days, weeks later I go back to find an unfinished text. I have but one friend I can send that adhd sh** to who will laugh her @$$ off at the absurdity of the unfinished thought. I can send her a text. And because I’m known to send “chapters.” I loose my focus and go on five other tangents in that damn chapter!

This is my life. Sometimes the more important msgs are, the longer I’ll wait to open them. Some have never been opened. The most absurd part… there’s nothing to fear or feel anxious about in any of them & I know it but I become totally paralysed. This is my first 10 mins using this app & already I’ve discovered that this is a normal thing for a lot of people. Thank you all. Thank you so much!

I have put off some things for months, now I need to FORCE myself to get them half way done before the deadlines

I recently had a birthday and literally couldn’t open the messages. It’s been more than 2 weeks and they’re still unread (texts, FB posts) and now it’s too late to give everyone thanks

You’re not alone, yesterday I had called out of work because of the same paralysis.

I feel this 💯. I deactivated my Fb and ig accounts because I felt stuck in a loop of unanswered messages.
