have a melt down lately? and what counts as one...

so i count as a melt, i guess, when i just start screaming curses. this is often over stupid things - like, my fridge is overcrowded, and i never bother to clear things out... and so i put something in, there's not enough room, it falls out, i stick it back, it falls out, repeat until screaming and cursing ensues. so, daily things that irritate me, over and over, yet i may not do much to correct the situation., like, when i tried to post this, and it repeatedly failed to successfully post. so i scream curses.

then there's in public melt downs...  this can happen in stores or restaurants, esp if there is a chaotic line, or it's unclear if there is even a line. i seem to need things to be orderly. i don't mind waiting my turn, but if there are people cutting in, or there's disorder, i can get really angry and can confront people or clerks. if you do this in a polite way, it's fine, but i often don't have that polite way about me.

i often will leave in a huff, and i guess people might be mystified as to why this person (me) gets so worked up, and over what?

do you feel bad after one, or neutral, or ............. good? sometimes i've felt good, even if it meant demolishing a $100 laser printer. they break into a million pieces if dropped from the second story onto concrete.

  • There's underlying frustration and anxiety at the root, but I sometimes meltdown at the slightest trigger. It can be something as simple as a little bit of trouble with my internet connection while I'm trying to stream something and I end up yelling at the TV. I feel ridiculous for doing it, but it's like the emotion just has to come out, and honestly, I'd rather scream at a TV than someone who's not deserving of getting screamed at.

  • i'm kind of accepting that i'm a screaming maniac at stupid things... maybe that WILL save me from yelling at some person (uh, like my temporary doctor... oh, and complaining excessively to my other doctor). i've also kind of noticed i yelp and shriek when i think of uncomfortable social situations that i've just been in. right when that anxiety over that event, i think of it, i yelp out loud. pretty loud, too.
