Yelling at people, pushing them away if they try to touch me. Hitting myself on the head, slapping myself. If I don't catch it in time I go into a rage. My clothes will feel bad, music sounds bad, the sun's too bright, laughter starts to grate me, etc. For me it starts as getting moody, depressed and anxious, then I'll get irritated with everyone and everything for an unknown reason. Idk what I'd do if I had a partner who didn't. Luckily my partner is autistic too and gets it. That's not to say I don't have extreme meltdowns where I'm just a puddle on the floor, cause that happens too. My ability to be semi functional during most meltdowns probably stems from my extreme desire to not burden other people with my problems because I fear being resented. Like a lot of my meltdowns lately are because I'm overwhelmed at the volume of housework that needs to be done (generally it's not even really that much but I'm incredibly low on spoons for a plethora of reasons) and whether I'm losing my mind or not: that shit still has to get done.Ī lot of the time my partner will come to the rescue and pick up one of the chores I'm dreading, which helps a lot, but sometimes I have no choice but to work through it all myself while I'm losing my shit (like if she's asleep or not home.) Unconsolable sobbing, oftentimes I go nonverbal, sometimes I hit myself in the head but I'm working on not doing that, and a lot of the time I'll just keep going about the business I'm trying to achieve while this is all happening.
