    I was just feeling really bad a little bit ago, so I wrote it all out and I just wanted to post it in case others maybe had similar feelings? This is probably really dumb, I'm sorry

    um..yeah. Sorry, I don't usually post such feelings, or talk about them to anyone..

    I don't have body dysphoria, but I do feel lots of that when get social dysphoria and it sucks to feel trapped and numb. :frowning2:

    If there's one thing I've learned from using this forum, it's that posting feelings is a good thing...even if you don't think anyone will read them...

    I'm glad you did, because it makes me feel a little better knowing that I'm not the only one this happens to. I recently spent almost a week in my pyjamas because of this exact thing...

    Ugh. I know that feeling. I've skipped class before because I literally couldn't bring myself to do anything. You're definitely not the only one and it helps me to see that I'm not, either. Hang in there, and keep posting your feelings. Even if no one responds, it helps me lots to write it out and organize it and put it in a place where someone could find it.

    I definitely know the feeling as well. Over the past couple of days, I've felt almost 'paralysed' due to dysphoria. Simply being reminded of it all was enough for me to lock myself in my room and not do a damn thing.

    You're definitely not alone in these feelings. (*hug*)

    I know the feeling. I've felt this before, and usually, it also accompanies overload.
