Anyone?? Anyone else want to throw themselves on the floor kicking and screaming ?

I’m there. I’m really right there

Let it out. It will help.

Hugs

Re: Adult tantrum

I did this morning.
Broke down hysterical sobbing.
It felt so good.
Tears really release stress.
I'm PMSing right now so forget it

Re: Adult tantrum

I cry hysterically at least once a day, so I definitely hear you!

Re: Adult tantrum

It is okay to cry. It is okay to hit a pillow. It is healthier to get it out than let it fester. Come back and let us know how you feel after you cry. Hugs and virtual shoulder to lean on. We all get it. We are with you.

I absolutely had one today. Had a huge argument with my husband. I threatened divorce and told him I and if he was to visit the kids I’d see him in court, then actually left to go to WORK because needed to get the **** out of the house. It wasn’t my finest moment. Tensions are high. DH was furloughed yesterday. We were planning to put our house on the market in April and stood make a good profit. No we are stuck, a family of 4 in a tiny 2 bedroom on top of each other. I have no room to work when I’m working from home. We are doing zoom sessions with the kids school. The kids are fighting. I know I need to count my blessings for my health and my family’s health but this is rough. I absolutely lost it today.

Me. I did it today. I told DH that it's starting to get to me . I broke out in tears the other night watching the news.

I did it yesterday. I was just so overwhelmed with work and school work and everything.

We get these emails every day to step back from the computer etc... And everyone is so understanding but they want an unreasonable amount of things done - and I am new and wasn’t fully trained on any of it...

I've been stressed but powering through until this week. Monday one of our closest friends was diagnosed, is in the ICU but is doing okay. Today my dad started exhibiting symptoms. I lost my shit.

Have a tantrum.

Re: Adult tantrum

I was just thinking that I can deal and work through most anything. Things rarely get me down. However, I've never felt so low and in despair as I am right now. At first I thought this would be a welcome break from the daily grind, but this is horrible. I went for a walk with the family this evening and that definitely helped. I can't see how I can do much more than another month of this.

take a few walks a day. it helps. I've been trying to do this. I do find I'm really tired by 6 PM and can't wake up in the AM

Re: Adult tantrum

Thank you. I’m sorry you’re all going through this stuff too.

I haven’t had my total tantrum yet but it’s about to happen. I’m having small meltdowns. Today I yelled AT DH. Because the tape on his bandage came loose. As if it was his fault. I then proceeded to cry while re-taping it.

But I’m due. I’m due for an all out lay on the shower floor cryfest

Re: Adult tantrum

i want to, but i can't.

DH doesn't handle stress or change well, so i'm the one keeping us all together. I have to be his support system and talk him down every time he reads a new story and spirals it into the apocalypse.

i also have to be the stable one for DS. His emotions are all over the place, he's getting angry, sobbing over nothing, not sleeping well. i'm afraid he may get depressed soon. so i'm trying to be the calm one, to show him things are ok, to be there to listen and soothe.

they can't see me melt down because they will melt down and panic and not come back from it. i am literally holding the reins on the emotions of three people (and a cat. lol)

once this is over, i'm going to ask them to go away for a weekend so i can process, but for now, i need to keep it together.

You should have a break down when you are in the shower! This way they won't see you, but you'll get it out.
