Today....is just a bad day. Started this morning and its not stopped.
Woke up and let the dog out so that was normal...then...it happened.

I was going onto the back patio and felt a strong tug on the front of my hair and a loud ripping sound like velcro....oh no...no...I turn around and yep walked right through a stinking full spiderweb made the night before. Are you serious! Instant anxiety so I stripped down to my undies as I was running to the shower about to yank my hair out because we all know spiders sit where....in the middle of the web.
Im finally in the shower after what seems 5 hours of scratching and tugging waiting for hot water.
So I scrubbed like crazy, did some stimming finally got out, dressed. Then heres the strange part...I was on my phone and it needed charging, when it dimmed and beeped...I wanted to break it. So I plugged it in. Then I went on the porch, sat in my favorite swing and started crying shortly after. My mind opened into a flood of negativity about everything. I havent shaken this horrible feeling yet.
Burnout or just a meltdown?
Ive been having more and more meltdowns lately over nothing. :( :cry:

Burnout often causes an increase in meltdowns.
