More than just sensory overloaded and totally exhausted.

Today is a crappy day. It started when I woke up and read the news. There, I read about the next Corona actions. Now, they are about to reduce our range of motion to 9 miles. Although I know that I'm not a big fan of traveling long distances because of my travel sickness, I got furious because of this negative news. I'm also afraid of more ordinances and more severe ordinances by the politicians, like curfews for example.
Just because of this negative news, I got sensory overloaded and I had a slight meltdown and a panic attack. Later, we cleaned the kitchen, and the strong smell of the cleanser caused a headache and a shutdown. My neighbors in the apartments next to mine and in the apartment above mine are always arguing loudly with their wives. Now, I am extremely drained and exhausted, and besides this, I have a headache, an upset stomach, I feel sorry for having a meltdown, a panic attack, and a shutdown in that same afternoon. I also feel sorry for getting rude and aggressive because of my anxiety attack and my meltdown. The only thing I want for now is just skipping the rest of this crappy day as it is sensory hell and unsurvivable for me. I even don't want to watch wrestling tonight, although I'm always looking forward to watch it. I don't know to cope with this crappy day. #Anxiety #AutismMeltdown #Autism #autismspectrumcondition #AutismShutdown #Drained #ExhaustedAlways #exhaustion #chronic Gastritis #Chronicexhaustion #IrritableBowelSyndromeIBS #SensoryOverloads #SensoryDisorder #SensoryIssues #Depression #PTSD #AutisticAdults #AutisticExhaustion #deadinisde #aggressive #depressed #aggression #Anxietyanddepression #AnxietyAttack #AngerManagement #Feelingsorryformyself #feelingunabletofunction #feelingdeainside #EmotionalBlackouts #mentalblackouts

Swept under the rug but I need to talk !

I am usually bi polar , predominantly depressive. Two nights ago mania kicked in. Or something did. Occasionally, when EXTREMELY stressed, once a year or less, I flip. Flip like a switch and it’s not pretty. Usually involves screaming, yellow, belittling of my loving partner...throw things. Total s#*# show. Kicker is...I don’t remember it. I just wake up to a sinking feeling that something is awry. My partner handles it by shutting down and ignoring that anything happened. I can’t do this. Holding all that in kills me inside. Then the grainy old film inside my head starts throwing me snippets of the nights circus. This isn’t me. I’m not like this ! I don’t like this person. It’s like “she” isn’t a part of me. Horrible. I’m trying to do this on my own, as far as medical care, I pray 2021 I can finally get insurance again. Meanwhile, I’m taking 20 Paxil and that’s it. This stinks. I’m scared guys. I don’t want to run this wonderful man off. #BipolarDisorder #EmotionalBlackouts #MentalHealth #BipolarDepression

Don't you just hate it when one small thing can trigger bad or traumatic memories that you thought were stored away deep within; then you spend the rest of the day trying to stop that emotional pain and burry those feelings away again

Or is it just me?

Me and my boyfriend have been together almost 2 years. && he is one of the most amazing human beings in the planet! He went out of town til Monday evening and I have been just doing HORRIBLE.
I have bee led free since January due to loss of insurance and so as u can imagine my lows are scary and my highs are insane.
When he left Friday I absolutely went into hysterics. Freaking out, crying, hyperventilating. Just the most absolute feelings of fear and terror went through me. Even tho there was/is zero reason to.

I hate this feeling. I hate doing that to him. I dread and then have anxiety about having a huge flare up of being hysterical. Not only does it ruin my relationship but it is painful and draining on me also. #EmotionalBlackouts #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #FreakingOut #abandonmentissues
