10 Signs You’re Having A Mental Breakdown

A month ago I made a video called ‘what is a mental breakdown’

So before we get into 10 signs you’re having a mental breakdown let’s take a look at what actually is a mental breakdown.

Sign 1 - you withdraw yourself from your family, friends or co-workers, you avoid social contact and you avoid socialising, you may even call in sick to work, school or college, you may not even show up at all! You isolate yourself at home

Sign 2 - you have depressive symptoms such as suicidal thoughts, self harm and feel hopeless

Sign 3 - you have anxiety with high blood pressure, tense muscles, dizziness, clammy hands, upset stomach, and trembling or shaking

Sign 4 - you have extreme mood swings and unexplained out bursts, one minute you might be happy and on top of the world, the next minute you’re historically crying for no reason at all

Sign 5 - you have insomnia, you can’t sleep, you can’t fall asleep, you’re restless

Sign 6 - hallucinations, you may see something that isn’t there, smell something that doesn’t exist, hear noises that nobody else hears, taste or feel something that isn’t actually there

Sign 7 - you are paranoid - you think people might be watching you when they are not, you may think people are stalking or following you, you are generally paranoid about everything

Sign 8 - you get flashbacks of a traumatic time or event that has happened in your life

Sign 9 - you’re having bad panic attacks which include chest pains, feeling detached from reality, have uncontrollable fear and have difficult breathing

Sign 10 - you are extremely stressed or have gone through a stressful experience such as a divorce, losing your job, loosing a loved one, anything that is too stressful for you to deal with

I thought a mental breakdown was an event.




it’s a lifestyle

[PatronSaintOfSwitchbladeFights]

so basically im having a mental breakdown 24/7. good to know

[roy]

feels like i'm having this permanently

[oliviahanson]

I don’t know what this is but when I feel like I’m having a mental breakdown I feel these:
Unable to sleep
Not wanting to talk to people
Crying for no reason
Remembering stuff that happened in the past
An overwhelming feeling of stress
Constantly thinking people are talking/ laughing about me
Have a nervous feeling in my throat/ chest
Being very unmotivated
I’m always tired, not physically but mentally
I’m wanting to give up

[coffeecup]

I am constantly tired, over thinking, depressed and anxious all the time. I feel weird around the people I love and just feel disconnected from everyone. I have literally left myself in my dark room to be alone and cry.

[unleashingpotential-psycho]

Overwhelming ourselves with so many task can definitely cause a breakdown sensation.

[aleksaarsic]

Problems at home and when you hide your emotions within yourself for a long time can couse a bad breakdown

[leonhuston]

Who else just watched this and progressively started sobbing harder as he explained your situation

[heromi]

so there you have it, cutting or dying your hair an odd color at 3am is not a mental breakdown its much more than that and i hope no one has to go through it

[박하나-vr]

I had a mental breakdown before, but now I feel numb. I hate this feeling 🙁😖

[barelyfunctional]

when he said “you’re hysterically crying” i started hysterically laughing

[gajumasare]

Oh no, I have 9 signs and I think I'm really suffering from metal breakdown. I was already suffering from depression and I had social anxiety and now this. I think one day my brain will just explode 😥.

[briannacardenas]

I get mental breakdowns nearly everyday

[ChromaticaCitizen]

Well, then I have a mental breakdown, and it’s been that way for a really long time. Would you say that is really bad- or is that just normal for a teen? I mean- half of that is normal in a way, but the other part. Not really. I’m kinda confused

[AuthenticMentalHealth]

Do you think you've ever had a mental breakdown?

[blazeflamegames]

holy s i have literally EVERY symptom..
i may need help

[carly]

bro your way of talking is SO agressive, I feel it doesn't help if you're talking about this stuff. Not hating, you just gave me that impression

[tianna]

I literally just cried because my bun wasn't looking good and i literally was just going to lay down and watch tv and i wanted my hair out my face.
