Makes perfect sense. Shutdowns for me, while they are mental, it is the physical effects that I notice. I get them in what I call partial form first which is my mind starting to shut its systems down where I can usually prevent a full shutdown due to the situation of what triggered it. (If I remove...

That sounds pretty much like mine. Mine can last for days or weeks, during which time I don't want to speak and I can't handle any noise like music or TV.

But I never knew whether I could trust them or not. God, I feel so stupid now. Sorry to bother everyone, I don...
