Honestly? I don't even want to return to work

After today I'd rather not. I think I will focus on finding a new job. When I say my brain broke and I shut down I mean it. I felt paralyzed like I couldn't make a single decision or figure out where to even begin or how. All I could do was stand there and take it all in. I genuinely didn't know what to do and I couldn't make my body move.

Sorry you are experiencing this. I don’t know what preceded this. But when your mind shuts down your body, it’s telling you something important.

If you have access to professional counseling/therapy, I recommend you pursue it.

A person close to me went through this a year or so ago. It was abrupt. High functioning, then just…stopped. He’s much better now, back to work, functioning.

Humans are social animals, and we’re not meant to face troubles alone. Somehow that message got garbled and we think if we can’t tough through it, we’re weak. That’s not true.

I too had a weird experience a few years back. I was walking to the laundry room when my body just ran out of gas. That’s the only way I can describe it. I couldn’t move. Not dizzy or sick. I didn’t fall. I just couldn’t move.

Mine turned out to be a magnesium deficiency. Just that. If I had made a thousand guesses I would never have guessed magnesium. I take magnesium now and it hasn’t happened again. Talk to a doctor.

Wishing you well, healthy and back on track soon.
