Mine are usually caused when somebody either refuses to understand what I'm trying to tell them by implying that I am misrepresenting my intentions or feelings, or they just can't fathom the emotions that I am trying to explain, or by being called a liar when I am telling the truth. I get very angry and go off on them. I don't get physically violent, but I will cuss them out and possibly slam doors or hit a table.

My shut downs are caused by being completely overwhelmed with a problem or task. Something that I just can't find a way to start working on. When my house gets very messy I shut down.
