feeling trapped in my body


[...]

Recommended Posts

Hi all! I have this horrible feeling of being trapped in my own body and tortured...I feel like I have no control over my mind or body, I feel impulsive like breaking things...and like I want to get out of my skin...please help. Anyone feel the same way?

 

 

Is this DP or akathisia?

mmir,

I do feel like I am a prisoner to my mind and body. I keep trying different things to help, but it just doesn't seem to help. I feel like I am getting further from healing and not closer. I describe as a war is being waged in my body, and I'm hoping for the good guys to win, but alot of times not convinced this is going to happen. I dont feel like breaking things, but I feel sometimes, my decisions are impulsive, because I just want to be fixed. I am getting weary from the battle. :-\

I feel all of you.  I desperately want to do the things I used to do, but I just can't.  The agoraphobia is just too much sometimes.  I've also tried a bunch of techniques to try to ease the anxiety, but nothing has really seemed to help.  It all just feels so chemical.

I am so depressed today over this.  I had to have a friend stay with me yesterday because my anxiety over being alone was so bad...    55 yo needing a babysitter. 

I can not get in my car and drive to the store.  Let alone work.  I'm on month 4 of this .....  I really want my life back. NOW.  I have no patience today.  It is a beautiful, sunny day out.  I am in jail.

I definitely feel trapped and disconnected from my body and the world.  I am 6 months pregnant and don't even realized my body has changed because I am so dazed.  I look in the mirror and I don't recognize my own face.  I touch my skin and can't feel it.  This is all so strange!!

 

Hope 56- I feel EXACTLY the same way!  I just wrote in my journal and wrote many of the same feelings you just expressed.

 

Hang in there all!
