Second day meltdown coming again

NAS76953

Starting to realise these emotions shutdowns are meltdowns pretty much first time im truly aware of it if that's a thing anyway it was really bad yesterday I said really horrible stuff to an online friend I can't control what I say and it's horrible. What should I do because I don't want it to happen again today. I want to cry but I can't either not been able in years. 34 years of age it's so embarrassing uncontrollable emotions.

  • I think the first step is recognising it as a meltdown, then you can start being able to deal with it better, so it's already a first step! Maybe when you are feeling the heat rising, take yourself to a safe space when you feel comfortable and away from devices so you can't accidently interact with others when you are not in control. What you do then will depend on what helps you personally, breathing exercises, grounding or throwing some paper balls around. Maybe someone else has suggestions?

    And you can just tell your friend you were having a bad day for personal reasons and apologise if it's appropriate, and hopefully that can be enough?
