 Forum: The Haven   Topic: Meltdowns over people and biting myself

I’ve been getting meltdowns almost daily when people start talking about my life and don’t even include me in the conversation. As if they know what’s best for me and I don’t. They call my husband and start telling him how they think we should run our lives and it drives me crazy when he just listen...

Does anyone else get almost catatonic after a meltdown? I feel like my body shuts down and I just stare off into space, crying and can’t move or talk or do anything for a while.

OMG! My list: - Lip smacking chewing like .....sends shudders down my spine and makes me want to SCREAM - loud laughter around me that's not with a group I'm with - loud voices (someone around me who's talking on the phone) - If someone repeats words or phrases like a song, over and over These are t...

Hi Everyone! My elderly dad has been living with me and my husband for the past 5 months due to COVID, and I've held it together pretty well but I'm starting to unravel as his negative attitude towards EVERYTHING and constant nagging and TALKING SUPER LOUD ALL THE TIME and wanting to know EVERYTHING...

Woah I'm so happy to see so many of you participating in this discussion! Thanks for commenting. Love reading the responses! The thing I absolutely cannot stand is when my mom tries to push all these products on me and literally attacks my face with creams like she'll just come up to me and smear cr...

I will never understand why women put so much effort into morning and nighttime beauty regimens like putting on cream makeup and all this other crap like wrinkle reducers and anti-aging treatments. WHY ?!?! Society has diluted us all into believing we are ugly without makeup or that we HAVE TO put m...

When the crap hits the fan and everything is going wrong I need to get away from everyone and just be miserable alone and in peace. Not have people crowding around me trying to make me feel better. That doesn't help. I need to be alone. Why can't people understand that?! Everything sucks right now a...

I hate it. Especially when I'm expected to help and I have other things I want to do. For example, my mom picked a difficult recipe to make for dinner. I didn't expect her to put me to work in the kitchen when I had a ton of other things to do. I don't see the need to help when I'm not the one who w...

But it sucks bc I get that feeling when people I love touch me....and not strangers.....like when I'm upset and my husband touches my shoulder, or when I was angry and my mom did the same thing, pat my back or touc...

Hi everyone! So I just wondered how many of you talk with an expressionless face. Like if you're talking to people and explaining something, or just talking in general to friends, does your face show any emotion? Or do you kinda feel like a talking robot? I totally see myself talking and I look like...

Hi everyone! So I'm really trying to open up more and show my personality and share my stories with a wider audience so I started a YouTube channel. I'm really putting myself out there and it's super hard and a challenge at every take and sometimes I think I sound or look weird but with each video t...

See that's the problem, to tell parents that stimming is what we need at the moment to deal with the anxiety/emotions going through us. To explain to them in a way that they will understand. My dad is in TOTAL denial, and he's like STOP! every time he sees me stimming and it's soooo incredibly annoy...

I'm at work right now, sipping my usual morning coffee, trying to come back to life, but it seems like I'm just depressed. I can't snap out of it for some reason. On the surface, I look fine, all dressed up and made up and pretty, but on the inside I feel....heavy. Like....a deep dark pit. I can't r...

Do your parents ever stop you mid-stimming? Do they interrupt you and how do you deal with this? Every time my parents catch me picking at my scalp or picking / bjting my nails or my lip they call me out or worse, they try to pull my hand away from my mouth or slap my had away from my head. It gets ...
