[I_Still_Know!]

I stop doing stuff.

I have had a loved one, who was very close to me die, and I was there when it happened.

For the next few years, I was on this earth, but was not living. Weekends would be spent at home alone when friends would be out having fun. I had no desire or energy to socialise with anyone. School became the least of my worries and then after that the same was true with work.

It was something like 5 years later that I realised that 'not living' was not helping anyone and started to make an effort with friends and going out etc.

When the minor things happen I do the same thing, just retreat from everything and everyone for a while - but for nowhere near as long. Just usually for a few days.
