What would cause a perception of being unable yo walk during mentalbreakdown?

It could be hysteria, and then again it could be related to  somatic delusions as a result of a psychotic process.

A stroke or TIA might be accompanied by other signs as well, such as slurred speech, vision loss, numbness, that sort of thing.  Halting speech like you describe is evidence of a number of other mental conditions.

I'm no stranger to this problem...\n\nIt feels like you are walking around in a fog, like nothing is truely "real" as you would normally feel it.  You feel like you could pass out at any second but at the same time you can force yourself to go on for quite a while without doing so.  It really takes a lot out of you and takes a lot to recover from.  You'll need quite a few good solid nights of sleep to completely get over it.

It's to keep your balance.  While you are walking, actually your body is completely off the ground for a split moment.  So, you need to keep from falling on your ass.

I agree with exercise . . . get out and walk, you'll be surprised how much your mind processes and clears!

that depends I assume there is some delay to correct. We would need to know the challange (dislexia, speech?} or the symptoms if the cause is not yet known

Different level of mental states.

Probably compensation for an unnatural move...it doesn't feel right, so your body tries to compensate for it.

Never had that happen before.... but it could have been something similar to a panic attack where your senses became heightened? Just a guess...

hi........you are describing what me and certain members of my family have had happen many, many times. you are just getting ready to drift off to sleep but you are very much still aware of your surroundings. all of a sudden you feel like you can;t move your body and your breathing feels funny. most of the time we all get the feeling someone or something is in the room with us and it sets such a fear inside you but you can't move or speak. often i try to shake myself awake, but i feel paralyzed. i heard this is a real disorder called sleep paralysis. wow......it seems funny seeing you ask about this. for a long time i thought only my family had this.

Could be something neurological--Go see a doctor, asap!  Best of luck!

True, but my guess is we would have a smile on our face! But a couple of hours? I'm thinking a definite problem is existing in your nerve responses. Kind of similiar to when a record skips or a cd freezes up. My guess is that after a while (as a woman) we'd go numb and very little of the sensation would be felt. I'm not sure if walking will be in order, but I think numbness is a definite maybe. What a thought! Not that I'm willing to try......but what a thought!

I understand what you're going through as the same thing happened to me. I think it may be depression from the shock of what happened to you.\n\nI passed out on a night out with friends and since then I've been tired, unmotivated and just constantly dizzy and lethargic.\n\nI've been to them all Neurologist, etc. They found nothing and made me feel as though I was imagining what was happening to me. They told me I would snap out of it. Yeah right!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nHowever, I've been doing my own research on line and I found out about 'ST. John's Wort' a meal supplement and herbal remedy for mild to moderate depression, which has really got me mentally and physically motivated again.\n\nCheck it out on line yourself.

actually, this has to do with anxiety. when you know you aren't able to go, then that's when you feel the sudden urge that you have to go right away. this isn't uncommon, and alot of people suffer from things like this. of course it's not good to hold it. it's not bad to go alot either. it is part of a psychological anxiety.  when you get the sudden feeling that you have to go, if you start to get nervous about it, just try and relax and talk yourself into knowing that you really don't have to go, because in all probability, you don't. try picking up a book on panic attacks and anxiety attacks. i'm a sufferer of panic attacks and i know it's not fun.. but try to be as calm as possible when you feel that sensation coming on.

Yes, it is possible to pass out from shock and have hallucinations.  Your friend could also be mentally ill.

I have a very very mild form, it used to be worse.  I did feel like a burden to my husband when it was bad, now it's a lot better and it's to the point where I can force myself to leave the house when I don't really feel like it.  I am not in any kind of treatment anymore, but when I was, my therapist recommended starting very very slowly, thinking of the things that made me nervous at first, and then trying something that would make me only a tiny bit nervous, and working my way up from there.
