Does anyone actually like them? I don't, but I know that there may be someone out there that does, and I just want to see if such a person exists.

Gosh no I hate them. I don't understand who would like having them. They're hell to have.

Well, I figured if some people actually enjoy pain, and there are those that do, surely there is someone who enjoys meltdowns. I couldn't see someone actually wanting them though, and it would probably be some form of an NT...

I was restrained to be sedated once, and I don't remember it, but apparently I put up quite a fight.

not fun and if u live in grouphome until u have finished school it means that 4 of workers are sitting top of u while fastening restraints...even normal restraint is bad enough.....btw any one else living in grouphome or someting? one year to go before i can get out 8)

Good question. Plenty of people say they like being aspie, for the 'superpowers' or for not having to play silly NT games, but I haven't seen anyone say they enjoy meltdowns.

On the other hand, a meltdown might be better than continued exposure to whatever's causing it. As an escape method, they're pretty effective. :)

It was for a thing at the hospital. They had me so drugged on something that I blacked out and apparently fought back while I was blacked out. I don't recall any of it, I remember watching a movie and 2 minutes into it, everything goes blank, and I was quite calm while watching it.

I don' like meltdowns, The panicky breathing, heart beating at 150 BPM, The feeling of having no control

But yet again, Is that a meltdown on a panic attack? Is there any difference
