I've never actively posted for myself before because usually I can find answer through others. I've made an account because I'm a little more concerned about a specific thing that has happened to me. I've been diagnosed with BPD Depression and Anxiety back when I was 16, I am now 25. Today I had an experience I hadn't had since I was 17/18. It came out of no where and I'm not even sure it was my anxiety doing it. I'm curious if anyone has had something similar happen, as if it's not mental health related I'm worried it might be something worse.
So I was putting together a shopping list with my brother, while my sister was washing dishes. I got a weird cramp, I passed it for an upset stomach as I had eaten KFC, it doesn't always agree with me. But about 1ims later suddenly my hands were shaking, then my body felt weird and jittery. About five minutes after I was struggling to form sentences without stuttering, something I hadn't done since I was a kid, or jumbling up my words. This lasted 20mins or so and I couldn't even write. Now, if I was anxious I'd know because it has mental and other symptoms I know to associate it as that. But I was thinking clearly, I wasn't panicked or scared. My breathing was normal. I did want to disassociate, like I felt that pull to shut off, but I didn't. I laughed about it with my siblings, especially my messed up handwriting, but I'm a little concerned and even becoming anxious now because it's not something I've had happen in so long. I don't like not being in control of my body, so being mentally alert but not physically able to control myself really bugs me.
Is this something like an anxiety attack but without the mental thoughts and symptoms or something different? Could I be stress, both physical and mental. As things have been hard at home over the last year, even beyond the virus.
Thank you for any insight.
