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.

    I go into a trance, completely unaware of surroundings and won't hear my name being called. I am more likely to go totally silent and withdrawn. This is normally because work is getting too loud, then lights will seem brighter and I become overly aware of everything.

    I think this is a shutdown, but I'm still learning/understanding.
