Life is like, it's like they're living in life that's sped up, but they feel like everything is too fast for them, right?

So if someone is slow in life, they feel like life is moving faster.

We see them as slower, but they see the opposite.

They're in a time bubble.

Very good.

Which is why what we use to treat catatonia is benzodiazepines, which are gabinergic.

Benzodiazepines slow down the brain.

Catatonia is also associated with very intense emotions.

We see catatonia in two illnesses, depression and schizophrenia.

Both of these are when people are in a very high emotional state.

In severe depression, you will see catatonia.

In decompensated schizophrenia, you will see catatonia.

OK, what does this have to do with emotional processing?

So when we suppress emotions, remember, we're turning down the volume, but it's still playing.

We're just not aware of it.

And then all of those emotions are making alterations in our brain.

So after you go through a traumatic experience, you are changed.

The way that your brain operates is changed.

So when an emotion is allowed to make alterations in your brain, however the fuck it feels like doing, oh yeah, door closed, have a panic attack, bitch.

This person didn't call you, have a panic attack.
