skye1971

hi all i,m totally exhausted today my little girl has had meltdowns all day today in the house while we were out and she is still at it i am so tired today it has worn me out while we were out at the shops seh was bad dragging me here there and everywhere she was sitting on the floor and wouldnt move i,d try to calm her down which worked for about 10 mins then she was off again she was ok when we put her on the bob the builder ride she likes that but she,s been like this in the house all day today aswell crying,screaming and extreme tantrums its been a bad day all round dont get me wrong it must of been just as bad for her aswell as she dont talk or communicate at all so its been a very tiring day all round and nothing in particular has set her off she,s been like that since she woke up this morning

  • Have you any idea what caused the meltdowns? We try to avoid taking our daughter to supermarkets or anywhere that is too noisy/bright/crowded because it will cause sensory overload and she will end up getting moody which in turn can lead to a meltdown. I know from my own perspective that if I'm having an exceptionally bad day then one meltdown leads to another and another and the slightest thing can set me off. So on a 'good' day sensory things are not too bad but on a bad day something as simple as the phone ringing can feel like someone is trying to claw my ears off whilst hitting my head and it just makes me feel so awful, so then when you have multiple things setting off your sensory problems it all becomes too much.

    Anyway I hope thigns haven't been too bad these past few days.
