Feeling ill after Meltdown

Skybird

Yesterday evening, after a particularly difficult day I had a meltdown. I spent about 45 minutes crying rather hysterically until I could calm down and afterwards I was exhausted and went to bed. I don't sleep well at the best of times anyway and this morning I woke up with an awful headache, feeling sick and very drowsy.

Does anyone else notice that they feel ill after a meltdown?

  • Hi, I'm not autistic, but have felt physically and emotionally unwell after something traumatic has happened.  Body + mind are not separate.  Think of people who get an upset stomach when they are nervous, for example.  The stomach produces more acid, which can lead to nausea.  Think of stress induced headache.  Lack of sleep can be debilitating.
