I am on medication flunil, lamitor and d veniz for depression anxiety..
Yesterday I was in a crowded place.. where the person behind me kept touching me inappropriately.. I could feel his touch. But not not able to process that he's touching in wrong way.
It was after 10 min I told people n they caught him. But still I was not aware what to do. I was not in senses/aware about what's happening...
What's all this. ?
It wasn't that I was afraid and couldn't speak. I was not able to process his actions.

What you experienced was deeply distressing, and I want to start by saying that what happened to you was not your fault. Your reaction—feeling frozen, disconnected, and unable to process what was happening—is actually a very common trauma response, especially in situations involving unwanted physical contact or violation. This isn’t about weakness or fear—it’s your brain’s protective mechanism, and it’s known as dissociation or a freeze response. When you’re already managing depression and anxiety (especially while on medications like Flunil, Lamitor, and D-Veniz), your nervous system may be more sensitive, and it can shut down under overwhelming stress to “protect” you from immediate emotional pain.
In such moments, your body might sense the threat, but your mind disconnects from full awareness, causing delayed processing or a numbed-out state. It’s like your mind was watching from a distance but couldn’t engage. This doesn’t mean you’re weak or broken—it’s your system doing its best to survive. What you need now is support in gently processing this event, learning to ground yourself in such situations, and working through the lingering confusion, shame, or helplessness that might follow. Trauma-informed therapy and grounding techniques (like 5-4-3-2-1 sensory focus or butterfly tapping) can help you feel safe and regain control. Take therapy, and you can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
This is quite normal if a person experiences such type of incident. As you already are on various medications and going through depression this may also lead to cognitive slowing which also have been the reason for the same. You may consult with me if necessary.
Your experience may be related to a delayed processing of events, which can sometimes occur in high-stress situations. Factors such as anxiety, emotional regulation, or medication effects might contribute to this. If this concerns you, discussing it with a professional could help explore possible causes and coping strategies.
