Got refused Pip ….but I’m too tired to fight it, go through the process again

Sally

I knew that could be the outcome to it, I’m too tired to fight it, and send off a mandatory reconsideration.

just going to accept it and try and work more without burning out.

Did have a meltdown after reading it and felt wobbly, I just exploded.

I live in supported living. I always feel embarrassed after a meltdown, that often includes screaming/shouting/swearing, throwing something and hitting myself in the head.

So exhausted after. I wish I could deal nga easier, im 37. That’s no way for a 37 year old female to act :( and I know there are bigger problems.

how do people regulate their emotions better and avoid a meltdown, I don’t always know what I need/need to do, as I don’t always feel like talking straight away, I guess going to bed, hiding under a duvet, what should I do to avoid a massive meltdown like that ? when I’m feeling that way?

It’s not fair on my Carer’s, they have incredible patience with me.

  • I am not an expert, but I think you want to sense a meltdown coming and intervene before it things become overwhelming. Once you are in it, it is hard to do anything as you have lost control.

    I don't know if you are able to find some signs. A tightness in you chest, a feeling of wanting to flee, fear rising, going quieter, thinking more negatively, a mood change, breathing changes, shoulders hunching.

    If you sense the signs, which require you to be able to pay attention to how you feel, then stop what you are doing, go somewhere quiet for a while, stim or find some way to distract yourself so the thoughts don't loop, have a drink, stroke a cat, get some fresh air, try to breathe.

    Sorry if you know this already.
