Meltdowns

Mine tend to last hours. They are normally prompted by a sudden change in plans. I start crying, shaking, hyperventilating. 

I'm worried that I will drive people away with this behaviour. And at a time like this (coronavirus) the thought of being abandoned is terrifying.

How do you guys PREVENT meltdowns?

  • I have to admit that I rarely manage to prevent a meltdown. However, in the few cases that I did manage it was because I messaged and talked to my best friend. I don't know if you have a best friend that's as non-judgmental as mine, but talking to my best friend always helps me a lot when I feel close to breaking down.
