Has anyone had this symptom?

Postby pifsurm » Fri Apr 22, 2016 3:10 am

Hello,
I'm diagnosed with a somatization disorder, but it's not my primary diagnosis so I can't remember the exact one. But anyways, I get this thing where I cannot move. I know I technically can, it's not medical, but I just cannot do it. It's almost like I'm in plastic wrap and I try to move but I'm hitting up against a wall or something. It doesn't hurt, I just can't get myself to move. Sometimes when this happens I can't talk either.

Thank you for reading,
S

Hello :)

I was 13 year old when I was diagnosed with a somatic disorder. I was told that my problem was caused by an emotional distress. At the beginning I couldn't accept that all that pain and discomfort came from myself. I spent many years to get finally the control of my body, although I am aware that somatinzing is the way that my unconscious has to communicate with my conscious part. It is just the way I am, now I know that. So, by knowing the way my body reacts, I have been learning how to increase my consciousness on myself and on the way I feel and live my everyday life, and I have to say that I feel much better now, comparing with the past as I learnt how to manage it. My disorder affects my digestive apparatus, I couldn't eat almost anything because all food made me feel sick. Now my diet is still very limited but at least I can eat! :) But there still is one thing which is not changed at all and this is the difficulty that my parents and my partner have in understanding me and my lifestyle. It is like they don't take me seriously and keep asking me to "try" food which I cannot digest. They say: "come on try it..just for this time..just a little bit." Like it were my choice to feel sick after eating.
From what you wrote about yourself, I think *mod edit* I have been reading a lot about the classification of the so called somatic and related disorders. It's my way of understanding and finding a meaning.

Thank you for taking the time to read.
