Screaming meltdowns

NAS86982

Hello. I'm so glad I've found this forum! My 13 year old daughter is still on the assessment waiting list, has been since December 2021, but we have been struggling for years with her behaviour. She doesn't sleep, is hyper sensitive, has anger and anxiety issues, phobias and such a fussy eater. But it's the screaming meltdowns that are the hardest to cope with. We can't calm her when they happen, just have to wait for them to 'blow over'. However this evening was particularly bad. She banged her head against her wardrobe and screamed the house down, then the police knocked on the door. They had received calls from the neighbours. To be fair I'm surprised they hadn't called them before, but it's just so embarrassing. She has the same extreme reactions to the tinest knock, scrape or splinter, and I think it's her hyper sensitivity. Anyway it is nice to not feel so alone anymore. Wish I'd seen this forum years ago x

  • Hi, I am new here and I have a 15 year old daughter who does exactly the same I am beyond fed up

    I been 4 years now trying seek support no diagnosis through Chams as cb my daughter refused to go and I couldn’t even explain why I wanted her to go because it made her worse refuses to believe she may be on the spectrum therefore has not got anywhere and is not going to any support been offered like CBT or other now I can’t even get her to talk to anyone she made life so tough I don’t know how get better ot got worse as she can’t even attend school anymore 

    you can’t  stop meltdowns they come out the blue and I find that even trying to solve the triggers isn’t even a option because half the time it has nothing you have done or do I find it possible to stop it it gets worse the more o try harder is 

    I cannot believe why it is so hard to even find support that not even anyone has given me a regular appointment with anyone when it comes to this useless system I find most difficult in a already difficult situation.
