Sighh. Okay children. Open your notebooks to any blank page and grab any preferred writing utensil. It seems that I must teach you about what a "crashout" truly is. A "crashout" is when somebody gets extremely upset, so much so that it goes beyond a conniption or a tantrum, and they pretty much lose complete control. It's similar to a psychotic episode or a mental breakdown, it can sometimes be a bit better, and it can sometimes be a bit worse. Furthermore, there are several stages to being upset. In order from least severe to most severe, at least to my current knowledge, they are joy, calmness, mild annoyance, annoyance, anger or sadness, rage or despair, a conniption, a tantrum, a mental breakdown, a crashout, and then a psychotic episode or psychotic break. Now let's explore the signs of each one of these states. If someone is in a joyful or cheery state, they are likely to be very friendly, cooperative, and overall pleasant to be around. This is the same if they are calm. If someone is mildly annoyed, then they might be a bit sarcastic or rude, but it is still more likely than not that they will listen. If someone is fully annoyed, them listening is a bit rarer, but ultimately still very common, but more often than not it is reluctant. If someone is angry, they will more likely than not be very rude, and it will be hard to get them to listen. If someone is sad, they will likely be crying or not want to do anything. Note that sadness and anger are intertwined. After doing things out of anger, one can become sad, and after being halted by sadness, one can become angry. Now if someone is experiencing rage, it's very likely that they could potentially become violent, so provoking them is not recommended. If someone is experiencing despair, it's very likely that they will be crying. Mocking them is not recommended. Like sadness and anger, these are intertwined, since they are nearly identical, except for despair and rage are worse. Think a box cutter and a machete. They are both blades, no? But the machete can cause worse injury if you get cut by one. Furthermore, a conniption, a tantrum, a crashout, and a mental breakdown are all very similar. They all very likely have screaming and crying, and the person who is currently going through whichever one of the four it may be is likely to get violent, or if they already are violent which is highly likely, get even more violent. Most of the time, these are ended by the person going through it crying themselves to sleep or tiring themselves out. Furthermore, a psychotic episode, or psychotic break, I'm not sure the difference, is the worst one. These are usually accompanied by hysteria, mania, highly emotional state, hallucinations, delusions, derealization, warped perception of reality, paranoia, disorganized thinking, and social withdrawal. When an individual is going through a psychotic episode, they may not realize that their sense of reality is distorted, and it is highly likely that they don't. Furthermore, these can last between several hours to several weeks. Furthermore, if someone is experiencing anything of the sort, be it sadness, despair, rage, anger, a conniption, a crashout, a tantrum, a mental breakdown, or even a psychotic break/episode, it is crucial to not provoke them or mock them or dehumanize them for their state. They cannot control it. Cruelty does nothing but worsen it. You know better than that, and if you choose to continue mocking or dehumanizing those in emotional states, then it is undeniable that you know full and well that you are only making it worse, and you are doing this on purpose to see how many of their buttons you can push before they snap, and then most likely you pin the blame on them. Overall, it is also very important to treat those who are going through something mentally with respect instead of mockery and dehumanization. Once again, it does nothing but makes everything worse, and it doesn't make you look cool, it makes you look absolutely disgusting and like someone isn't trustworthy. On top of this, it doesn't exactly make you look the most mentally healthy yourself. TL;DR: There is a difference between mild annoyance and a crashout, and dont make fun of people who are struggling mentally, its not funny or cool, it just makes things worse. I do hope you have written all of this in your notebook.
