  • A meltdown for me is when I literally cannot cope with anything anymore, like I just stop and can't go on. I'm trembling, sometimes can hardly breathe and feel faint and sick. It's like so much is happening and it fries me. I become silent, won't talk. I cry. I scream. Hit and throw things. I just lose it and need to be left alone until I recover. This happened to me a lot when I was little and growing up, luckily it doesn't happen to me as much now. It still can happen but only when something big happens and overwhelms me. That for me is a meltdown.
