Meltdown

in April 2015 Moms
I seriously just had a horrible meltdown because 3 yogurt shops in my work town were all closed (two for renovation, one turned into a sushi restaurant) and now my lunch hour is up. :(( anyone else have crazy panic/anxiety over small things? How do you cool off before you have to face the public again?

    Maybe it would be a good idea to talk to someone about this. Having a "meltdown" over a closed yogurt shop is a little excessive.

    Thanks I thought I would post to a community that is going through hormones and emotions like me. You should feel proud of yourself to hold it together better than others! :|

    Yeah those motherfucking hormones. I can totes relate! I cried because I couldn't order from the breakfast menu at McD's. Is that what you were looking for?

    I think a meltdown over yogurt is a tad excessive.

    Meltdown over yogurt..  I'd hate to see how you handle actual problems.  


    Sure, its annoying and I'd be bummed if I REALLY REALLY wanted something and couldn't find it, but a meltdown?! No.  Buck up, lady.  
    Buck up lady?

    we're human. and sometimes the small things add up. i have had plenty of "meltdowns" over the stupidest smallest shit and i think of myself as a pretty rational person.  i don't think it's anything to beat up OP about.

    ETA: maybe i just see this as bad word choice rather than not having yogurt ruining her world.

    Apparently everyone's definition of meltdown is different.

    But honestly I'm envious of everyone who has no emotions. Must be easy to be a robot. I'm back to work now, thanks for the good laugh! You adult women need a reality check about respect.

    I've definitely had something really ridiculous be the straw that broke the camels back and then melted down. For instance, a few weeks ago, after a very rough morning and a shitty check-up, I stopped at Taco Bell and they were out of creamy jalapeno sauce, then I found myself in a hysterical amount of tears. But it wasn't because of the creamy jalapeno sauce...that was just the cherry on top for me, I clearly lost my shit because I had a rough morning. 

    If you're having a meltdown because you couldn't get your yogurt fix...I'm not really sure what to tell you.

    I cried once because a department at work was ordering baked potatoes for lunch and when I went to go ask if I could get it on that action, they told me I needed to have had the order in the day before.

     

    Also, I don't think that urban dictionary is a good standard in which you should use to define words.

    We need a reality check about respect? You just posted a thread about not being able to find some frozen fucking yogurt. There are women with real life problems on this board that don't involve frozen treats. Unbelievable.

    My comment was not rude or disrespectful. I just gave you a solution to coping with a "meltdown".

    @khan08 Yes, cake. Now that's all I can think about...

    Anywho. Everyone HAS emotions. Mature people learn to control them with logic. The kind of logic that tells you that not being able to get a frozen yogurt on your lunch break just isn't going to kill you.  And here's the thing, we all have bad days and bad moments. I'm sure if I thought long enough I could think of reactions that I would be embarrassed to admit to, but then, I wouldn't ever actually admit them to anyone.


    Well said.  I like your style.  We all have bad moments, but despite being pregnant, we are still able to control ourselves.  Or we should be.  I cry over stupid shit, but then I say, "Wait stop crying this is stupid shit."

    yup! the sooner you recognize you are being ridiculous. the sooner you get over it!

    I definitely realized I was being ridiculous, just seeing what you guys do to deal with minor meltdowns. I've now had carrots grapes pretzels and cheese. Someone was telling me I was not meant to have frozen yogurt today!

    I cried because I burned the cinnamon rolls I was making for breakfast and was stuck eating boring cereal instead. I was more upset that the house smelled like burned rolls though... We all have those moments but gotta keep things in perspective.

    I'd also like to point out i think there is a difference between crying out your frustration and having a meltdown. To me, crying it out is taking a few moments for yourself to release bad emotions and then move on. A meltdown however conveys ugly crying, yelling, throwing things.. in essence, a tantrum like a toddler would have when they can't handle or understand a situation.

    I also think there is a major difference between having a meltdown bc there has been a series of bad things happening (or a large life altering bad thing) versus one trival bad thing as well. If you blow up bc your dog crapped on the floor and it made you late for work and then a heel broke and then you get an angry email from your boss and then you can't have yogurt.... well i can definitely be sympathetic. But a meltdown over yogurt is just really trivial imo and i think you need better control over your emotions.

    I am a very emotional person, but that comes in both happy and upset emotions. But i can't say i have melted down over something silly. Cry, sure. And i take 5 minutes and get myself together. But meltdown, not so much.

    It's yogurt... go to the fucking grocery store or gas station and grab a cup.

    @gkling103‌ Lol if only frozen yogurt and healthy nutritious yogurt was the same, then there would've been no issue!

    I'll answer the original question from OP which I think is the reason she posted... Do i find that sometimes the little things put me over the edge? Yes. for sure. Sometimes when we're already on edge, all we need is a little sometimes to go right, to make us happy. And when that thing falls through it makes a bigger impact than it normally would. I actually DID have a meltdown with frozen yogurt once. Horrible day, and all i kept thinking was "Pinkberry is all i ask for". i went to pinkberry #1 and it had gone out of business. same with #2. when #3 was found to be gone as well, I was pretty sure the world was against me. 
    it's funny how sometimes the little things can drive us mad.

    Hey I cried at work because my last option for finding work after maternity leave fizzled/died/shat out a few hours ago.  Bonus points because I'm the breadwinner in my family, can I have my own thread now?

    @nincompoopery‌ I am totally behind you getting your own thread for this. It is definitely meltdown worthy. I hope this isn't truly your last option and that some great opportunity presents itself!

    All I can say is I'm sorry... I had the worst year of my life last year with everything feeling like it was falling apart then this year it all turning around for the better. I feel for you during this hard time.

    I get having a meltdown if you've had a series of mishaps and like someone else said, but a meltdown over yogurt is kinda pathetic. I probably wouldn't tell anyone coz id feel stupid about crying over such a trivial matter. (First time poster, long time lurker. I only say this coz I know I'll be side eyed and distrusted by the regs, but also hi to you all too)

    I think the better way for the op to ask this question would have been: "I'm a person who struggles with anxiety at baseline, and now even little things are starting to bother me. Is anyone else going through this?" At least that's how I read it (between the lines). Even though I think she is being a little ridiculous, I also think some people are getting a little sanctimonious. Telling her to think about starving people and swollen cow udders... I mean I lol'ed when I read that comment, but I pictured my mom telling me there are starving people in Africa when I wouldn't eat my peas.

    Can I just say that having a "meltdown" over "no frozen yogurt" makes me laugh simply because of the words used here. Reminds me of a kid telling a joke!

    "What happened when the pregnant woman found out there was not frozen yogurt around? She had a MELTdown! Get it?! Melt! Not frozen! Hahahahahaha"



    ......No? Just me?

    Lol I thought the same exact thing! Great minds...

    @DMG122183‌ i don't disagree that perhaps better wording might have saved some problems... but if it's an anxiety issue causing her to freak, the advice to probably seek help definitely still stands then. Bc again, crying versus freakout/meltdown is a major difference. If you can't handle not getting something really minor you want... it might not be bad to seek help.

    I mean in the nicest way possibly too. I'm sitting here staring at my wording and there is no nice way of saying. Metal illness is definitely something to be concerned about.

    However op never said so won't know if this is driven by something else, a poor use of the word meltdown when she might have meant she just cried about it, or she did indeed just severely overreact over froyo. :neutral_face:

    I've never even had frozen yogurt. When someone says yogurt I assume they just mean good 'ol yogurt. I don't think I'd like it unless it has ice cream like texture.

    It's pretty much amazing and I recommend you try it ASAP. Just don't cry if the place is closed

    @nincompoopery‌ That sucks!! You totally deserve yogurt for that.

    I feel this thread is having a bonafide meltdown. This was my two cents. Thanks for playing.

    Soft serve ice cream with toppings! Cannot forget the toppings. Mochi, strawberries, and granola please. :smiley:

    Hmm frozen yogurt. Might have to get some this weekend. I wouldn't say I've had a meltdown but I did start crying at work when the shit hit the fan. I asked my boss if I could take a few minutes and went and sat in my car for about 15 minutes. I've cried over posts I've read on here, watching tv, listening to music in the car. I'm definitely more emotional now that I'm pregnant but I've always been a little sensitive. I just talk to myself to calm myself down or say a prayer.

    Oh I did cry once about costco being close and I wanted a hot dog. I was hangry. Now I look back and think omg I did that! Yikes.

    Maybe it's just me, but I thought OP was just being a little hyperbolic. I didn't take this to be a super serious post about problems. Just a "gee whiz, I just cried about yogurt!" kind of thing. I mean, that's the danger of the interwebz, I guess. No one can get tone down to a science. Just my reading of it, though.
