| It sounds silly but I'm not 100% what you would say constitutes a meltdown so I'll just go with one thing that sticks in my mind and that I knew wasn't right. So what caused it? A combination of lack of sleep, stress, frustration and obsessing over my special interests. It was building up over week... |

| Most recent meltdown: husband is having same stomach pain again that he has every once in awhile that goes undiagnosed all the time. I eventually have enough and just randomly wake up and cry and accuse him of faking the whole thing. He eventually had to go to the hospital. But I get real emotional... |

| Can you give me a specific case, not general, of having a meltdown, and a separate specific case of not having a meltdown? I am thinking something interesting that actually contradicts your method of controlling it but I am not sure without more data. Listen I’ve read some your posts (hint: Reizflu... |

Love feels like the summation of life and it is romantic love, a crush is probably a form of admiration like having a favorite color.
A young child, for example, has no broad views of life and because of this cannot feel romantic love. |

| I have been thinking about your question, and here is what I have come up with. Before you approach her, I want to prep you. Your girlfriend probably wants to lose weight, and honestly, your desire for her to lose weight is probably not the best motive for her because she will just look to you for a... |

| I don’t leave the house unless I absolutely have to and, thus, have more control over my life. When I do leave I try to be as efficient as possible, combining work with shopping and appointments. I invite family to my house, which reduces my discomfort level, because I’m in familiar surroundings an... |

| xatrix26 Your description is interesting, it sounds a lot like having to go to the bathroom and holding it all day. The closer you get to the bathroom (your home) the harder it is to contain. Another parallel is crying. When crying, by anyone such as an NT, it is intense but then there is a point wh... |

| I am slowly but surely figuring out things that mean the proverbial weather conditions are such that I am more likely to have meltdowns. Like if my digestive system is having a bad day I'm more irritable, also when I have to deal with bureaucracy, crowds of people, etc. All 3 responses so far show ... |

| I hope I'm providing enough information for your research and perhaps this is as beneficial to you as it is to me? When I was young my first word was probably "Why", my sister got angry at me for asking why all the time and I stopped and since then I have been scared to ask the "Why&... |

When or How do your stress levels start to go back down? |

| A time I had a meltdown: I had a meltdown on this day that was a day where we basically spent the day doing fun things. Unfortunately, one of the “fun activities” included attending a school wide pep rally. I covered my ears almost the whole time, and the experience was horrible. What was going thr... |

| This thread says more, it's way too triggering for me to type out again. I've been spending the last year and a half trying to expose it, and no one believes me, which is also why I haven't been able to stop hitting myself for the last year and a half. http://wrongplanet.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=... |

I'm only allowed 2 hours every 2 weeks, supervised, because they're concerned about my moods, while staying totally ignorant to what really causes those moods, my son and I being abused and the law doing f**k all to stop it, actually giving people a free pass to continue this abuse, b... |
