Metdowns!

Post Reply New Topic

As long as you have a nervous system that is constantly overloaded trying to process too much incoming data, and is occasionally overwhelmed by sudden changes or external emotional pressures, then yes, you're going to have a total meltdown from time to time.

For me, the worst are almost invariably caused by other people cornering me and badgering me long after I've already shut down and asked them to leave me alone, or when a huge change has been dumped on me out of the blue and I'm under relentless pressure to digest it all immediately.

I'm very wary of pharmaceutical meds, but I recently discovered Valerian Root capsules - they stink like an old sock, but they're an amazingly effective anti-anxiety med and they work pretty quickly. Good for those panic attack stress-outs when you can feel a potential meltdown right around the corner.

jayjayuk - What website did you go to for the meltdown information?

Sooo graphic...makes me wonder where the green flame in your avatar's hand came from. lol.

That's a thermonuclear meltdown. Different kind of thing, very deadly. Kills every living thing for miles except for bacteria and cockroaches.

The human fart contains Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Carbondioxide, Oxygen, and Methane. My meltdowns can be very explosive sometimes. A huge release of gas is my best way to describe it.

In my experience meltdowns are very related to environmental factors. I had em alot when i loved with my parents but I very seldom have em nowadays sense I moved in with my girlfriend who's also on the spectrum.
