Venting Paralyzed for three hours

[Margimet]

I have been paralyzed in bed for 3 hours without doing anything. I have horrible thoughts and feelings of fear, of guilt, regret and shame.

I am afraid because I did something I could not and can be punished if someone find out. And the other feelings are consequences of that.

Someone called me to talk about this wrong thing 3 hours ago (phone call was the trigger) and I can not stop thinking the worst will happen.

I have tachycardia, fast breathing, cold hands and feets, gastritis, I'm in the dark room, unable to move. I feel like I'm going to lose my mind!

Has anyone experienced this? What to do?

Shame spiral.

Yes I have experienced this. Often with all night insomnia.

Breathe. Turn your mind away from the worst thoughts. Be realistic about what might happen.
