URGENT -need help

Post Reply New Topic

I get extreme sensory overload in busy places, lots of colour,noises,smells etc ....This lead to catatonia (undiagnosed don't know who can help)

During catatonia i feel fizzy and cannot talk and can only make the 'S' sound and the mmmmm sound.In extreme case i freeze where i am and cannot move.


My first problem is how to get a diagnosis as i am sure it is catatonia.An ambulance women has seen it but was able to diagnosis


but my biggest problem is as i find explaining hard is too explain why being in a flat even small flat arent suitable and only bungalows are.In my words too many people in a flat and not a bungalow and no stairs in a bungalow.There are more reasons but i cannot think how to explain it.A women once said 'but the other people are in a closed room so you would see them etc. I have gone to my dad and in 2 mins i was already finding it hard to speak properly.

You need to speak with a doctor about these things, and possibly a social worker.

Since you don't seem to have English as a first language, I'm guessing you're not in the States. Exactly what services are available to you, medical and otherwise, are better known to you than to us.

Are you on the spectrum? Do you have a doctor who knows you are? Have you spoken with your doctor about these symptoms?

You're leaving so much out of your story, it's hard to know what to tell you. We need more information.

You definitely need to see a doctor. If it's hard for you to explain things verbally, try writing them down. Make a list of things that bother you. Make a list of situations that led to catatonia before. Try to describe how you feel during these situations.
Don't worry if it seems difficult at first - just write everything down, no matter how jumbled it looks. Then you can re-read it and structurize it better.
Then show these lists to someone - a doctor, or your parents, or anyone you can talk to about it.

If you get this dealt with report back. I deal with this too and haven't been able to get this understood by any professional (because of me, not them).
