Melt downs

TW SUICIDAL THOUGHTS

How do you deal with the guilt, depression, even suicidal thoughts post melt down. Can't stop thinking my partner and baby don't deserve a mother who melt downs like this. Especially on big occasions . (Today I melted down in the night after his 1st birthday, so many peoples, big change of routine and some nastiness from the mother in law) 

But I get this guilt like I don't want tocwake up and go back to 'normal' after this massive emotional experience for me. Its so painful

  • Hi, sorry you feel so bad at the moment. I'm about to go into a big meltdown because of so many changes going on. The thoughts will pass, even if it doesn't feel like it in the moment, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't concentrate on you (and your son). 

    I used to take mine to a sensory room when I felt like this and just bask in the calm. Maybe that's something you can try? 

    Please remember to take care of you too.
