Just wondering if this was catatonic, so in hospital the voices got so strong and it’s like something snapped in my brain because of it. I found it hard to move and talk and was kinda drooling.this lasted for about an hour. Does this sound a bit like being catatonic?
I don’t know, but I’m curious too. Ask your pdoc and then let us know!
My catatonic episode lasted 1 hour too
Have any other of you guys ever been catatonic?
Yes, for a short period of time it happens and I black out, when it does my body tries to fight it because I catch a glimpse of what’s going on when I wake up from it. My first experience was in 2012, and thank God it was a professional that brought me out of it. Now since November 2018, I’ve had several short episodes. I’ve had blackout episodes too which I think are worse than catatonia because I move and say stuff although I’m told the stuff I say is incoherent
I think I’ve been mildly catatonic. I would just stay very still like I was in a coma and my brain would just slow down.

They labelled me catatonic, but im not sure.
In my case i just tried to lie, sit or stand still for hours, days in weird postures because i thought horrible things would happen if i moved. Im still not sure if that is genuinely catatonic, but the doctors said it was.
At other times I would also freeze and dissociate (just not be there for a while). And i would make bizar gestures. Now i only have a bit of dissociation.
So I rang the pdoc and he said what I went through was part that of the psychosis and not a separate condition like catatonia. Didn’t really clear it up.
I was selectively catatonic after a brief psychotic episode. Sat on the bed without moving for 2 hours.
