Catatonia 555

Have any of you ever been in a catatonic state? Fearing onset of something like catatonia myself due to extreme reaction to noise.

I had thought blocking when I was first hospitalised

It happened to me when I was younger, but I think it was due to emotional overload from trauma. I also had a tendency to faint when I was suddenly very startled. I think for me it was a very intense “freeze” response out of fight/flight/freeze. I am not sure how similar this is (or not) to the catatonic state in schizophrenia.
