I looked up somatic exercises to help with this because everything that I read is describing exactly who I am. why is one of the first pictures, legs up on a wall, like I used to do as a child to help me regulate my emotions 🤣😭🤣😭

important to say that dorsal vagal shutdown belongs to Polyvagal theory, which is not endorsed by current social neuroscience.

My Doctor jokingly calls it my Snarcolepsy. Stress + narcolepsy.

I love that it has a real name! I call it my “fight or sleep” response - if I can’t fight it, my body just naps about it. There is no flight.

I don't understand how y'all can sleep if that fits. I experience it like 2-6 hours everyday and can barely move or touch my phone and just stare blankly. if I started falling asleep I'd probably go straight into a panic attack😭

I finally figured out it was a stress response several years ago when I had to fight not to fall asleep while speaking in court, to the point i was blacking out. now I definitely notice the more stressed i am the more i just want to fall asleep.

Folks will really do anything other than see a sleep medicine doctor. I run a psychotherapy practice, but we have to send people to be evaluated all the time. Sleep apnea is common, as are many other disorders impacting sleep. And you need to eliminate that possibility before exploring more rare and theoretical ideas. 🙄

By the way all that vagal stuff is just a theory and some psychologists believe it is total bs. If it helps you then that’s great but if it’s causing you to worry, don’t hold onto it too tightly
