Do you ever feel frozen/stuck when trying to start an action

I experience an odd phenomenon sometimes when trying to start an action - my body just becomes frozen and I lose my power to carry on. I simply can’t force myself tot carry on.

It’s similar when trying to take a shower - I want to actually take a shower but I just can’t get myself to do it

Also I have periods where I feel like doing lots of different things, but the energy and enthusiasm quickly fizzles out and I end up with no thoughts or ideas again

It feels like someone erased all the thoughts and ideas from my head - makes functioning very difficult - most of the time I just pace up and down

Yes that describes me. It’s almost like I’m afraid to take action.

Yes this describes me. Especially wanting to shower but just not being able to. If i didnt have kids i would sit on the couch all day.

assistance allowance so i need to work 3 days a week :frowning:

I often feel frozen. Glad it’s not just me. Every small step is a victory though. I’ve showered 2 days in a row.

I can’t pinpoint why but my month long streak of showering has come to an end. Hope it’s just a temporary blip

Do you find that you have a good streak of it and a few days where it’s just impossible?

I hope you get back into the showering groove soon! :grin:

Yes definitely have better days followed by days where things become really difficult. I hope to try Sarcosine soon and see if that makes things better

I hope the Sarcosine works for you. I’m intrigued by it and in two minds about trying some.

Yes. I have this all the time.

I dont have kids and I do sit on the couch all day. :slight_smile:

Sometimes I envy those who get to do that,

I’m not sure what category I fall under. I can’t work I do school part time, I change my daughter’s diaper and make sure she is okay, I’m so scared to drive or go hang out with people. I manage at the grocery store but it takes all my energy and having to get things to do it

I don’t work and as I said I sit on the couch all day. sometimes I do work with my father but it needs a lot of energy which i don’t have.
