Lost it over missing a bus

I have had depression for 10 years. Ups and downs. Never had medication but have had cbt which was amazing. Been through lots, like all of you. Things finally settling so we agree to a day out together as it’s been years! Just one day out for lunch and time together without the kids. We miss the bus by seconds. Buses every 3 hours, so too late. I’m home and have literally sobbed and sobbed. This can’t be right? All the low feelings come rushing back in, feel worthless, can’t even catch a bus, children be better off without me etc etc. Does anyone else ever get like this and why? Seriously think I’m beginning to lose it again over missing a bus.

I get like this. Turned out I'm autistic so it's more of a suddenly triggered meltdown situation.
How long do the feelings last, and what happens afterwards? Exhaustion?

Sorry I can't be more helpful right now x

This happens to me too xxx and happened this morning over the heating coming on and waking me up when all I wanted to do was sleep.

I think it's the weight of expectation. And then our immediate habit of catastrophiding.

It's that old adage of take a step back and breathe. Yes it is horrid that you missed the bus. Anyone would be totally gutted in your situation But it's not the end of the world and what can you do instead?

I went to bed, slept a few hours as felt awful and drained. Then I got in with jobs in the house. Feeling much better today thank you
