Hi
I have been trying to work out if I am experiencing Shutdowns, I am still not sure
I have been trying to find information online but its pretty unspecific. Very few videos about it either.
If you experience shutdowns, please
I want to determine if I am indeed experiencing shutdowns.

Thanks for any responses,advice,ideas
My shutdowns don't last long but I am having way too many due to stress / pressure at work. It's the main reason i realised I had to get diagnosed.
At the end of the work day i just feel numb and i have to sit in silence and stare at the wall and feel....nothing. i have to shut out all stimulation.An hour can go by in this state and it feels like 5 minutes. I just zone out in a state of anxiety instead of a state of peace.
I'm really down about it. It's my main symptom and its hurting really badly because my husband finds them hard to accept. He wants my attention when i can't give it.
I found it interesting to read the thread, so thanks for starting it.
no problem i am detecting from my reading/research that they seem to vary quite a bit and this is a good place to ask those, like me ( maybe), who experience them. Shutdowns are also probably more prevalent than realised and more distressing than people think. Thanks for the reply.
