Stress reactions

In my teens through to my 20s, if stressed my brain would stop and id fall asleep. I could be at someones house, at a table, anywhere. I never sought help just thought it was normal! 

Now I'm older I dont sleep but my brain still shuts down. I cant think, cant move, cant talk. I get tired but dont sleep

Anyone else had similar?

  • Yeah I've had similar to the brain shutdown you describe.

    My communication skills I've noticed on occasions began to wither and I was becoming more still and when people were talking to me the replies I gave were in shorter sentences, or even just one or two word replies.

    Trains of thought get lost too. Then I get back home, spend an hour in my own company and function more again.
