Today has been a lot

Marsi

It was a funeral today. It was so loud and everyone was so close together and I could smell perfume. It only got worse when we got to the wake. Everyone was chatting loudly and I mean it sounded like they were shouting to me. I did put my headphones on but I could still hear the chatter. it felt like we were packed like sardines. I found a corner of a table and kind of just sat there. I've had multiple meltdowns today. 

  • Hello Marsi,

    Thank you for sharing your experiences with the community. That funeral truly does sound like a lot for anyone to handle, and I am sorry you had to go through all that today.

    If you are interested, you might want to visit the NAS Meltdowns page. I am aware that it is written for someone (e.g., carer, friend, relative etc.) witnessing and trying to manage a meltdown, but I am sure there may be some information that might be relevant for your situation (e.g., listening to calming music on your phone/I-Pod, exiting busy scenes to go on walks, taking regular breaks, reading, doing puzzles, playing with one of your favourite toys etc.).

    Please reach out to us if you would like any more guidance and support with anything.

    Kind regards,
