    Physical pain can be horrible but I believe the mind can inflict worse pain. I worked 22 years in psychairtric centers as a therapy aide because I felt a strong urge to help. I know it did because I saw a note left by a patient on her night stand and it said she hoped that I was working that day along with another worker because we made her feel happy. (She was missing and we were searching for any clue as to where she went-not being nosy-she came back) That one note stuck with me because you never know what effect you have on others.

    I remember seeing a Catatonic patient when I was in a Psych Hospital rotation in nursing school in the 1960’s. The woman was on top of a table in the most uncomfortable, odd and twisted looking position of her body and she stayed that way for hours not moving at all.

However, since in those days there were no videos to demonstrate these conditions even to teachers, I had a difficult time envisioning what they entailed.

    I have autistic catatonia.. it’s like a regression of major skills including motor skills (fine & gross), a slow progressive regression of skills until you can reach this full blown catatonic state.
    I believe I’ve reached this state after a seizure. Then lost all skills and went full catatonic too that day ..
    I had one other full blown catatonic episode but I had thought and understood my surroundings but couldn’t soeak or do what they asked and was trapped in my body doing all the typical things.., so maybe not 100% full 🤷‍♀️
    That day it kept coming on and off, until they gave me Ativan.
    Now I’m in a constant regressed state of autism regression and have to be very careful to protect my sensory stimuli (I have sensory processing disorder), I can’t talk in any form, even text, to people for too long, the language processing overloads me then I suddenly without warning shutdown and need help b4 it gets catatonic again.
    I can’t basically do much and I lost many many skills (self care, I drop things, am clumsy, dizzy etc etc and I’m always borderline, like it’s ok and then not ok .. and then very not ok.
    It’s very scary cos there’s no real cure 🙃🙃🙃

    As has been mentioned this lady might have just been co-opted to act the part of someone with this issue - I don't think so though.
    If she is a real sufferer then a little more possibly needed to be done in providing assurance and looking to use 'communication switches' to help the patient to start the mentall process to choose to exit from this state.
    A patient I dealt with when I was just a nursing assistant was in this state and saying absolutely nothing. He was however listening and taking in my conversation. Taking an interest in the patient and offering continued assistance, even if this is to be then next day, is more important than piling on drug treatment.
    The gentleman I dealt with was, at some level by mental effort, remaining in this mentally locked state. This was regardless of the amount of drugs given to force the mind to lose its own control. Not wanting to merely leave him to think he was alone in resolving his situation but unsure if he was even comorehending my conversation with him, I explained that I would continue to come and talk to him but I could not spend too much of my time just chatting about things - life, ways of thinking, possible issues or just how I saw different things - so I would stop talking now and go and help people who responded to what I said, whether they agreed disagreed or wanted to add their perspective.
    He had been on an ever increasing dose on medication for about a week, within about 24 hours of this clarification of my and his role in his recovery he unlocked his own MIND. It is another aside to discuss dealing with the fact that simultaneously his drugged BRAIN was also unlocked; he was nearly bouncing off the walls!
    Trust this provides insight to a challenging field.

They all left the classroom and then I turned off the lights and shut the door and then I was sitting still like a statue I didn't even move my finger, I went on like this for 9 hours while the slight noises amplified inside my ears like a plastic cup fell, the air conditioner, the sound of my chair legs, even the sound of my head, I loved the quiet so much and I am afraid of sounds. To the point that I can't study because of the annoying sound of the air conditioner and the hot environment. I don't move much yet, I have a fear of everything normal and people call me crazy like moving, the sun, the hot weather, socialising, Noisy and public sound, any noises, The voice of people talking, even the neighbors if I hear them talking I feel depressed. I haven't talked to my siblings for three years. I like talking to myself.

When I stopped eating milk products I stopped having panic attacks--ever. That was 23 years ago. Food allergies may not be the main cause of all anxiety disorders, but they are certainly worth checking out.

    worked up with the elaborate finish of jewellery, while others one gallops through, as it were, without noticing
    them at all, as, for instance, through space and time. Psychedelics seem to be spurred on not by reason but by desire,
    not by the head but by the heart, and yet what complicated tricks my reason has played sometimes in psychedelics,
    what utterly incomprehensible things happen to it!
