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

  1. list the symptoms
  2. describe the process you experience
  3. describe how you feel afterwards please
  4. what triggers it / is there always a trigger ?

I want to determine if I am indeed experiencing shutdowns.

Thanks for any responses,advice,ideas

    thanks Simon for adding to this collection of shutdowns. Your contribution is useful as it documents your version of your shutdown. The range of feelings and symptoms  you mention shows how much they affect you. 

    thanks
