When I'm feeling down I can be walking down a street and suddenly the task of getting from where I am to where I need to be seems impossible, too much, undoable. I don't have the energy. I have to stop, I can't go on. After a little while I can go on, slowly, taking it literally one step at a time. This isn't too much of a problem... however yesterday the same thing happened, only I wasn't walking down the street, I was swimming and was halfway down the pool completely out of my depth. With no warning I suddenly lost the will to swim. I couldn't see how I could possibly manage the 10 or so metres I had left to swim. I didn't have the energy to go on, I couldn't move my arms or legs enough, I couldn't even tread water. I can't explain it more than to say I just couldn't. In my head I was screaming at myself to move. I manage to flip on to my back and float, and then kick to the edge. The whole thing was over in less than a minute, but it really freaked me out. Is this something anyone else has experienced or anything similar?? I'm seeing GP anyway on Monday, so will probably mention it then... Thanks, Ocean.
