Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 > What exactly is a " meltdown " ? > Suzy-WI Oh boy, do I know the answer to this one! I use the term " meltdown " to basically describe a tantrum that my 11 year old daughter gets into with stuff usually relating to her OCD. Usually involving screaming, crying, rage outbursts, it's really fun, let me tell you.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Hi Suzy, by meltdown, most of us mean a toddler-style, kicking, screaming, irrational and angry response to a seemingly small issue or situation. Our OCD kids, especially before their OCD is adequately treated, may have a meltdown due to an intense rush of anxiety when prevented for whatever reason from doing a compulsion.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Hi Suzy, I have a teen and a meltdown could include door slamming, cursing, and turning the music up LOUD. It might also include anything in the path of said person melting down being in jepardy. Things or people. During a meltdown is not a good time to reason or imposed punishment.....things need to blow over before rational dialouge resumes.
