You've explained what I've had so much trouble explaining to myself and others. This is the most difficult and pervading thing for me. I don't even understand it myself.
The ice water. The invisible barrier. Localized fear paralysis. Not getting better with therapy. All of this is EXACTLY what I've felt the last several years. It's a major reason why I got divorced a few years ago. I have major fear paralysis with household chores/cleaning especially. I've never seen anyone else talk about feeling this way, and I kind of want to cry just because I know I'm not alone and not just lazy 😭 Thank you for your videos. Thank you.
This is also typical for highly depressed people. It is a huge problem with dopamine distribution and dopamine receptors. There are many many people who are living on "one task a day". Regarding you feeling like you can't, I can tell you - you can, but you must start any action without motivation, and when you start to do the action required (even by pushing yourself against the disgusting feelings), that will slowly give you dopamine to carry on and even feel reasonable or good or motivated. Also, I am not saying that this is your problem but I am saying in general, people who watch loads of porn are killing their dopamine receptors and they may feel exactly like you are describing in the video. So heavy porn users may have the same problem as you have here. I wish you good luck.
Wow!! I have suffered from this on and off for years.. I used to say to my mum that I feel legit paralysed. I just sit and procrastinate for hours/days even weeks doing the bare minimum !!! I also know that these phases pass.. the blessing is i have a responsible job that I can’t let others down and I am self employed, Otherwise I just withdraw from the world in between. The days/weeks and years just disappear 🫠 numbing out from reality. I also know that these moments pass and I really am Learning to be self compassionate ❤
This is the first video I’ve watched of yours after someone recommended your channel on reddit, and I’m going to have to watch more. This explains exactly how I feel so often. I haven’t been able to put it in words to make my boyfriend understand. I’m going to try using the jumping into icy water analogy. Thank you
May I ask if you feel Like there is a concoction of toxic chemicals mixing within your body… it’s hard to explain… like a mix of toxins in your chest, abdomen and belly!!! A churning… I would love to know of anyone else experiences this… the best I can describe it!! Like a chemical come down?
