  • I nearly rage quit, I think they call it, a few times. But before doing something I regretted I always went outside for 30 mins to calm down, then pushed it to the back my mind and carried on for the day. Over a few days it would ease. I'd think what type of job I wanted, then realise he current one ticked all the boxes and I should be careful as I might get something worse.

    If I really decided I'd had enough I then sorted out my CV and started looking.

    It is also easier to get a job if you have a job.

    Try to at least sleep on it.

    I've experienced that sort of thing all my life. I get all worked up, really need to be alone to calm down, and then sort of "suck it up" for a few days until I feel normal again. I never realised that these were meltdowns. Even after learning lots about meltdowns, I still didn't make the connection until I found more accounts of meltdowns that I could finally relate to. Now, I know what's happening as its happening, I try to talk myself through it, and I seem to be able to get over it more quickly (one or two days instead of three or four). Not that I'm getting "cured", they're happening more regularly than ever, but they don't feel as shaming or damaging as they used to.
