I have been having multiple catatonic episodes lately, one last night where I couldnt even draw in a breath for a few moments and my heart rate was really high. Currently on a waiting list to be seen by a psychiatrist. How do I know when I need to go to the hospital?

Hi jilliskill.

Even though you are on a waiting list to be seen by a psychiatrist, it's probably a good idea to either present at your local hospital or seek advice from your local doctor should you be feeling distressed or in pain right now.

I have been an active member of this site for 4 years. In that time I have received some really constructive feedback and connected with several others with similar challenges to myself. I have also found hanging out in the Games Forums to be a welcome distraction in times of stress... a great way to clear my head, meet like minded others, and have some well needed fun. New members benefit greatly from perusing the many forums available here...lots to explore.

Also after 5 approved posts members have the option to join the chatrooms..or chat one on one with other members. For those who feel alone, or simply wanting to reach out for a chat without judgement......Psych Central is the place. There are many good listeners here... we're a pretty good bunch.

Should you have any questions on navigating this site, please don't hesitate to private message me or any of the other Community Liaisons who will be more than happy to help. Just click on the screen name above my avatar.

Please be kind & generous to yourself jilliskill, and welcome to P.C

Sounds like a panic attack or you could have had a panic attack because of catatonia

Catatonia is a severe episode of schizophrenia. The only way you would know if you were in a catatonic state is if your psychiatrist told you about it. You really can't diagnose it yourself.

i was hospitalized for catatonia in the early 80s for 6 months i a state run facility. I don't remember much other than there was a big window to look out and comfortable chairs to sit in. My dad says he visited every weekend but i never spoke or looked at him. I have tried to get that time back but its a loss.
Today i have periods of catatonia when i am well i think its when i am stressed, i will be somewhere other than where i remember being . Catatonia is sz on downers.
feel free to contact me about how you are doing.
thanks , tams
