I'm wondering if a dialogue with Serpentari might help.

Obviously, Catatonia is no good. I know you probably don't want to call the mental health services....but I might consider it under your circumstances.

This is not sarcastic: if you've stayed somewhere nice previously, and that place has helped you, maybe you could try that place again?

I had a similar experience and developed Complex PTSD, with agoraphobia, reclusive behaviour, selective mutism and the levels of anxiety you describe. I was catatonic for several weeks in the beginning. Just know that you aren't alone. I am almost at the ten year mark. I still have bad days but most are comfortable if I keep to myself, protect my privacy and take note of all my sensory triggers. Rest your body and your mind. It can take years to process and understand the effects of trauma.

It all seems hopeless. I've tried all the kind suggestions for many years, but getting worse and feeling a burden on everyone
