This film says it tries to visualize a meltdown - does this actually count as a meltdown? Because if it does I might not be having "small panic attacks" every time I go to the supermarket lol. I always thought meltdowns were an outward thing, with screaming and throwing things and stuff, and the opposite are shutdowns (which I do have sometimes when it gets really bad, then I can't talk for several days etc). I might have to look into meltdowns some more...
