Hope the title didn't worry anyone, does sound a bit dramatic. First of all you CANNOT be paralyzed by anxiety.
Anyway, I wanted to make this post as it is about some of the anxiety symptoms I have had previously and am getting again at the moment. They are horrible, it basically feels like you cannot move parts of your body, usually the legs or mouth for me. Its like everything that was natural about moving those parts of the body was unconscious and natural before but now it is extremely complicated and it really feels like your forgetting how to use parts of your body. I know it is a part of anxiety but it all feels so real. Everything I do now is over analysed and everything feels strange. Even when im not severely anxious I still have these symptoms, it does feel like my brain has been damaged somewhere.
Common sense would say it is anxiety though. Just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this as its one of the symptoms that I feel very alone in and seems very rare whenever I ask people.
Here is a link that explains it a bit better, read the Physical Paralysis-Like Symptoms section: http://www.calmclinic.com/anxiety/paralysis
Thanks for reading
