Feeling Trapped - ArmandCNP - 08-25-2025
When my anxiety is extremely high, I feel as though I'm being trapped and suffocated even though I have every reason to believe that I can move. It doesn't go away until I start moving and this will sometimes result in me pacing around throughout the entire day and into the night.
Does any other schizophrenic experience this?

For some reason it was better inside the house than outside. Being outside is still hard for me, I feel like it is paralysing me or something

I definitely do. I used to think that the suffocating feelings was just an additional thing I had when my anxiety was high, but I have been feeling it out of the blue too during good days. I combat the intrusive thoughts that those feelings strike when I have been "seen" or "targeted" by something (idk what) and that I need to run. Similar to how I react in nightmares I guess..
