#meltdown

[ottopilot-sfw]

When I was a kid, my mom would erupt into a meltdown at the dinner table and storm off to her room. I would just sit there in stunned silence, and my little sister would try not to cry. But my dad never got mad or upset, he just put away the food and washed the dishes.

Somehow, I ended up just like both of them.

Someone being patient with you on your bad days is one of the softest forms of love

Spectrum of overwhelm, now in triangle form due to popular demand

[Image description: A triangle chart titled, ‘Spectrum of Overwhelm.’ The three points are ‘404 Error,’ showing a person with an empty thought bubble; ‘wet beast,’ showing a person sweating and sobbing; and ‘rage beast’ showing a person clenching their fists in an outline of orange fire. The peak is the ‘404 error’ vertex, and the inside of the triangle here is coloured beige and labelled, ‘shutdown.’ The lower half is labelled ‘meltdown’ and is red on the rage beast side and blue on the wet beast side. \End description]

Thinking about how chaotic the 10th Doctor was toward the end where he just had a HUGE meltdown. He’s like “I am god I can bend time to my will” and suddenly hes chillin wearing a lei in the snow thinking the height of entertainment is locking the TARDIS like a car

A shutdown is like a meltdown but internal.

Hey baby, are you the climate? Because you're becoming increasingly unstable in extremely predictable ways, which could have been avoided if anyone had heeded the warnings.

I hate that I'm considered "high functioning". I barely qualify for any "level" of disability in my country and I will never get a disability income. Yes. I'm able to go to work. But I will not be able to hold it for more than a few months before getting burned out and having daily meltdowns. No, having 10 minutes extra work break won't help me. Neither will wearing headphones or carrying fidgets. I'm literally not able to work 40h a week without severe negative consequences... How do i fucking exist in this society!
