Do computer problems make you meltdown?

Post Reply New Topic

I've only recently come to the realization that many tantrums were really just meltdowns over the years. I would hit myself, and I just seemed to lose all control when I got overwhelmed with stress and frustration.

They make me meltdown, though the meltdown is happening in my mind instead of outwardly.

I don't get meltdowns over computer problems. I quite like solving this kind of issue and see it as a fun thing to do. We're all different.

Social situations where things go wrong and I can't understand why - now this used to be my big meltdown area. It happens in unstructured environments where there is unstructured social interaction and I have nowhere to go to get away if I can't cope. Nowadays it only happens when I'm involved in prolonged forced social interaction, for instance like a church holiday. Fortuantely, work environments are very structured and people focus on the work so I don't have these issues at work either in IT of Education.

My husband has killed 4 computers and 6 monitors due to meltdowns. It's frustration, transition issues, and hyper focus which will trigger them.

So yeah..I seldom ask him for ANY computer help.

Computers are logical and many of the problems I can figure out. I like how everybody says MACs are easier. I just had to reset my neighbor's MAC and it was the most convoluted process ever. Actually not as robust or easy as the ASUS and others before that, that I use now.

As a child it used to make me anger meltdown but now it doesn't.

Yes. I haven't had them as much recently, but that may be due to me getting a new computer.

When I was younger they used to but not so much now. Now they just make me want to grab the computer and launch it out of the window.

No, I just find it to be annoying and irritating.

Kind of...
I used to play League of Legends with my internet friends but I stopped because it was too much happening at once when playing things like ARAM in the game.
But playing games on my 3DS doesn't make me feel bad at all (for the most part at least).

Yes. I hate technology and it hates me back. I get so frustrated with it because I know nothing about computers, have a mental block against learning, and I'm always having to use one for some reason.

When things break that I can either fix or afford to replace I don't care that much. When I can't do anything I lose it.

Don't think it's a meltdown thing for me, not that severe or invasive for me to correlate my technology raging with my meltdowns, I just have a very short fuse when it comes to lag, freezing or blue screen of death! I suppose I can class it as pertaining to autism as I like watching documentaries, listening to music and having white noise blasting to combat my issues with sound sensitivity so if that is impeded it can lead to meltdowns since external noise does my head in very frequently!
