Meltdown or Neurocrash?

Roy over 2 years ago

Overheard someone a few days ago use the word neurocrash instead of meltdown. I just wanted to share it, the description to me makes more sense and is a better description of how it feels.

Crash, for me, is like 'Police, Camera, Action!'

"Oh! He's crashed! He's crashed! He's crashed! He's crashed!"

When you hold it in and it turns into a shutdown - staring into space for 3 hours

neurocrash

It's quite a dramatic term.... so it fits well.

When is a meltdown NOT dramatic?

I always think of myself as a computer, in a way that's what our brains are so a crash sounds much better than a meltdown...

When my brain freezes in an awkward social situation I always picture this happening inside my brain

I always end the process and get the hell out of there haha.

I rarely have meltdowns as an adult but I do shut down regularly - basically go non verbal and stare into space. Like my brain just stops. Neurocrash seems a very apt description of that.
