I nearly had a meltdown over a word

Post Reply New Topic

I was reading something outloud and I oculd feel it building kinda coz I was starting to feel a blut flustered but my brain just freaked out over trying to read the word imitate outloud. It felt like my brain had frozen and shurtdown so I got really agitated and started banging my head against my palms. After a few seconds I managed to get he word out but it was like that whole pathway in my brain, from reading the word to processing and trying to say it outloud, had just broken and evaporated.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Ooh also does anyone else get stuck in thought loops? sometimes when I'm thinking about something and I can't think of the next word, my brain gets stuck into a loop and the last few words I thought just repeat over and over in my brain.

I have meltdowns over someone saying certain words to me...

Yes.
I can have very extreme reactions to words or things or smells or certain forms of touch.
It's hard,
But once you learn what the triggers are and more about your particular presentation of traits, it becomes a bit easier to manage.

That must be annoying. I've never had that though and this is the first time I've ever been overloaded by a word.

No nothing like like, but I have had a moment when the symbols of a word didn't form properly. It was like they were lines or shapes instead of a word. It was a fairly common word too. It was like for a moment I had severe dyslexia. But it's only happened once.

I think maybe reading out loud was causing you stress and that one random word just set you off. What was your mood like before reading out loud? A meltdown can be triggered by not one, but many things.

The words, ret*d and ret*d cause me to go into a meltdown. I may be a little slow, but I have an IQ of 136.

Todays one of those days where everything is setting me off but I haven't experienced anything like that, although I can see it happening and see why.

My very ASish friend can be triggered by words or phrases or by laughter at whe he perceives to be the wrong moments

I can be very hypersensitive to how things are worded.

Can't say I have had any specific words trigger meltdowns but sometimes I do go though bouts of agitation that cause me to seek sensation of some sort that are triggered by words.

I do whenever people say I'm boring for whatever reason but I have the ability to hold it in until I forget and think about something else, but occassionally I would get angry with myself by the time I reach home thinking, do I belong on this planet?

Also there is:
immature
annoying (depending on the tone)

It doesn't annoy me as such when I'm online because I could ignore it unless it would of taken seriously and trying to hold my tears.

Oh wow. Usually really profane words by other people bother me like that (like body parts, such as...).

The neighbours dog barking and howling at 2AM gets me flustered...

The word creep gets me angry and tempted to go in an angry rage but I hold it back by thinking of something else to divert those feelings.

I hate "calm down" they make my meltdowns worse or make me mad. My husband ends up getting the hand. My natural reaction. But when he is standing far away, I get angry. He once had a cell phone thrown at him and he had to wear the bruise for a few weeks, three I think it was. To this day he still jokes about it. He likes to give me a hard time about it. It only happened once and he likes to joke about it anyway.

I also hate hearing about Gary, that computer system hacker guy and the aspie defense about him. Makes me mad and feel like I want to throw my computer across the room. I argue it instead to blow off steam. I hate him.

I was just thinking yesterday about posting a question regarding thought loops. Yep, the same words will just go around and around and around. It's not a case of my getting stuck on "the next word," though. It seems like it happens way more often when I'm anxious.

For example, I'll be driving, and feeling nervous, and I'll make a legal right turn at a red light, and my brain will say the words "right turn on red" about five or six times. At least I don't ever speak my loops out loud, and I am thankful for that.

I get stuck in loops alot.

If the cabinet dore won't clik shut I get stuck
going kachunk-kachunk-kachunk-kachunk
until brother comes by to dsay {{pp[ and get
me out of it. I rarely break out by myself
and end up running out of power and shutting down.

I was feeling fine before I started reading outloud. I just can't seem to read the word imitate outloud without getting really aggitated because it takes me a few seconds to work it out and it just seems to break my brain processes so I start stimming loads and freak out.
