At times I will get this very odd yet strong feeling that I’m “not supposed to do anything” or move at all. It feels like I’m dead or something. Like as if I could just sit and stare at the wall and not move. Has anyone experienced this? Is this catatonia?

Hmm…too many thoughts or too little?
It’s a hard thing over the ancient meds and the disorder itself…both things are reported.
Catatonia isn’t a diagnostic thread these days that is reported. Thankfully it’s about symptoms and medication and keeping those symptoms in check.
Could be a number of things but it’s always good to bring it up with your psydoc!
Neither I guess. It’s just a strange feeling/thought that I get. It’s as if I’m going brain dead or something.
i get that, but i dont think its catatonia. catatonia you basically go rigid and immovable and it could last a long time. and also you wouldnt respond to someone telling you to move.
but ill get like, ill just be staring at a wall thinking about nothing. and just no desire to move or do anything.
So catatonia is never voluntary? I thought I’d read somewhere that it was.
Sounds like the early stages of it for me before I went fully catatonic. I would just shut down. Have you lost time after this?
No, I don’t believe so. How exactly did it start for you?

it can be voluntary. glutamate antagonists like amantadine works best for voluntary catatonia.
