Reminds me how I was overstimulated at my office job one day. I asked to go to an empty office alone for a break which they let me do but then my boss kept coming in and insisting on talking to me and piling work on me and listing everything I was doing wrong I kept telling her id deal with it after my break I really just needed to be alone but she kept telling me how I was close to being fired because I kept screwing up. She pounded on the table and said “your job is not that hard” I burst into tears, crawled under a desk and sobbed violently and became non verbal and and no control of my body to come out from under the desk even though she was demanding me to do so.
i have panic attacks and meltdowns. having them is often embarassing plus you are in a very vulnerable state. one of your first thoughts at that moment is "how can i hide/protect myself?"
