I think I understand non-verbal people when I am in sadness meltdowns I can't talk for minutes at a time I know what I want to say I just can't say it interestingly I can often write it this is one of the few things I remember after meltdowns Sadness meltdowns don't last as long and humor can partially diffuse them but I can feel part of me resisting breaking out of that type of meltdowns
In addition anger meltdowns are quickly suppressed in my mind I forget most if not all details almost immediately
Anger meltdowns simmer into sadness meltdowns
I just wish I could figure how to stop them
Sadness meltdowns come from situations primarily
Anger meltdowns come from people primarily

Ah well

anyone else have similar experiences?

In a way I think we all do,
its called being frustrated with people and life.

Vocalizing takes a lot of energy. I just had a sort of breakdown earlier today, and it seemed like people just kept calling me at inappropriate times. My voice was quivery, which I'm sure was amusing to listen to, but not very fun for me.

The best way to prevent a meltdown is to isolate your self from people,
not easy to do unless your rich or on disability,
and even then you melt down from the isolation and loneliness,
you cant win ether way, only reduce them,
the only way I can think of is to find something to Obsess over,
and even then people and life seems to keep getting in the way.
