What is your "off button"?

[Corrin]

When my feet are cold, I literally can't do anything but try to warm them up.

Don't tell anyone about my "Achilles Heel".

If there's an upcoming date I'm not looking forward to (such as an appointment, a presentation, etc). I have trouble enjoying myself or focusing until that day passes. I enter into a mental countdown. Sometimes months ahead of time.

^ I do this too

I dissociate a lot... I've noticed it kicks in the most when I'm feeling overwhelmed by negative emotion. I'll switch off and just live life on autopilot with how I go about my routine, respond or react to the world and people around me. I think it arose as a way to keep how I externally present myself vs. how I internally feel seperate. At least that's what I think. :'D

I mean in a way that's kinda like me. If my feet are cold I can't sleep until they are warmed up. Mostly sticking them under the cat works...lol.

When I have to do something I don't want to do. Like when I worked all day, I'm going home and when I open the door I see some friends of my girlfriend sitting on the couch.. be happy…

I use a heating pad and they still take hours ;_; I'm always afraid they'll get frostbite.

I have a heated mattress pad and a cat who loves it. xD

When I dissociate, which has been happening with alarming regularity and seems to be triggered by nothing (which obviously isn't the case but it feels like it). I just can't function.

I only wish my cat would sleep on feet, but he's a skittery boy.

Nothing. I can function in any condition, even if I'm in excruciating pain. If I can walk, I can function, so nothing can stop me.

Even if I'm having a bad mental health day, I can still function. So, I have no off button.

 

[Roni]

Prepping for an job interview via Zoom and suddenly my microphone starts to not work. From experience, I shut down completely. Pissing and shidding myself trying to get it to work while the kind interviewer calmly waits on the other end.

 

[moon]

Being made fun of or sassed when it takes me by surprise. Instant shutdown. ;;

 

[Tsutarja]

when i have a (literal) fever i have to be in bed and sleeping not doing anything else

I'm so proud of you Kory! I know you'll be a force to be reckoned with.

I personally haven't had a fever in a while, but they are horrible things.
