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.
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.
catatonia is already the word for that though i think lol
