When my mind becomes over stressed my life goes to a point i like to call shut down time..
I act as if i am just egnoring ppl, but i can actually hear what they are saying only for some reason i can't respond to them till the shut down time is over...
And shut down time could be hours could be days has several times been a week then i am back up doing what i was doing...
Shut down time i am like living only in myself not in the world that is around me and i do this without any emotions of any kind. Don't cry, talk,but i am always listening just don't register at all...
Anyone else have this?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
