I've had times when I've been so frustrated I feel like jumping off a cliff, but I don't think I've had any major "meltdowns", at least not recently. I tend to get angry with myself more often that I get angry at others.
Thank you for describing what a 'meltdown' is, as I can now put a name to my behaviour. I also find that I can't speak properly and just repeat words over and over while it is taking place.
A panic attack is often manifested as a sense of impending doom because the anxiety can be so sudden and intense and sometimes out of the blue.
With meltdowns, all emotions can be expressed at once and not just fear and anxiety like panic attacks.
