When you’re stuck in functional freeze:

Yupppp do this everyday I’ve described it to my therapist and she says I’m dissociating

Yes, it’s dissociation

Breath holding, tense muscles and adrenal fatigue are common symptoms with this state.

But imma still get in!!! It’s just gonna take me some time i find what helps me get tasks done is music. I’ll open my laptop throw on a playlist and then shower for like a hour + While i scrub and sing and dance in the shower So if you have troubles play your favorite music💖

I was stuck in that this morning, it took me nearly 5 hours to muster up the energy to turn on the shower and take one… thank you for making me feel seen! Now onto finding coping mechanisms that help me thrive, not survive !!

This attacked me on a personal level, but what kind of survival is not taking a shower?😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I’m at my desk at work with tears falling down my face because I feel seen. I didn’t know this was a thing, been beating myself up my whole life 🥹 Thank you

How to get unstuck is the question I need an answer to. Please?

Thank you for showing this. I feel like I’m stuck in functional freeze and I don’t know why 😢

I've spent years like this. My life is on hold in many ways, it seems. I need the *how to fix it* thread.
