Hi, I'm new, so apologies if I do anything wrong!
I just wanted to hear the opinions and experiences of others. Recently I have had so many things that are out of my comfort zone going on, it's been so overwhelming that I have been having a meltdown a day. I'm exhausted, and that is making it worse. Yesterday I was trying to cope with my neighbors being noisy by listening to music with headphones (could still hear them though!) and I just snapped when my partner arrived home and obviously made more noise. I threw my phone as it was in my hand at the time, so that's destroyed now. I havent even finished paying for it. I was yelling and hitting myself, I feel like a terrible person and like I'm just ruining his life. He says it's fine, but I don't feel like it was fine at all, every day I'm freaking out and it must be awful. How have you guys got through times of stress without driving everyone around you mad? And how do you deal with meltdowns? I just want to feel calm again.
I know how you feel because there has been so many changes in my life I've been having loads of meltdowns too! :( I have just changed colleges and it sure has been a super massive change for me because I've been in special needs education for nearly 10 years so I am not used to mainstream life. I have had loads of meltdowns and I'm trying to find a way to help myself.
