When i took one of my premed classes, the teacher told us that if we dont learn anything else from the class, to learn the truth that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS NORMAL AT ALL. She gave a diabetes example. She was working in an ER in her residency. The doctor recalled a case where a woman came into the ER that had a 280 blood sugar. Obviously to us medical people, that is insanely high. My teacher was prepping a dose of insulin to regulate and one of the paramedics found the woman’s glucose journal and discovered that instead of this woman being a very high score, it was actually a very LOW score for this woman. Instead of further lowering this woman’s score, they startedgiving this woman sugar instead of the insulin injection. After a short while the woman woke up as to where if the medical professionals here had given the insulin injection they would have plummeted this woman into a diabetic coma. Just to be clear with everyone else, blood glucose keeps getting lower as the years go on. It used to be around 120. Last i heard its 80. Be careful everyone and to the medical community, please, keep this story in mind. If im wrong truly? Link the proof. If not, reaffirm that this is INDEED TRUE.

The degree as to which someone can or does breakdown varies and due to many factors or situations too. My nervous Breakdown was in October 2017. A situation happened that caused me to go into complete shock. I stopped eating an entire month and lost 120 lbs. in a month and a week, A very drastic weight change. I did sign myself into amental hospital but really didn't help. I was COMPLETLEY out of my head, my mind, i couldn't function AT ALL. It took me out of school, work, and even parenting. I was in so much turmoil and pain. I had panic attacks that made me black out and throw up, i even become addicted to meth while under the breakdown because i did not know what i was doing. Whoever i was? Was gone and still she is gone to this day. I lost my sense of time I don't know what day time or even year it is at times, i developed short term memory loss, had severe insomnia, i was so scatter brained, nerve wracked, paranoid, i even was SO STRESSED that i developed tachycardia too and my hair turned silver. I did not come out of this "fog" we will call it until about April 2018 and even then i was still gone. I have yet to fully recover but the fog i was in fully lifted about a year later. As for the straw that broke the camels back"? Yes that's exactly what happened to me with what happened that triggered the breakdown. I just could not handle what happened.= and i not only broke but shattered in a million pieces. I also developed agoraphobia and social anxiety. Like this breakdown WRECKED my life. And it feels like permanently. I have yet to return to work or school or anything. I am now to the point i am SO depressed and anxiety ridden i DO.NOT.GET.OUT.OF.BED. PERIOD... On the daily ALL i do is stay in bed. I don't even talk on the phone because of anxiety. Any interaction with people forget about it. I am completely F*cked!

My late mother told me about her "breakdown" in the early 1940s.
She grew up in a small town buried in bushland and farmland. Everybody knew everyone else. The day after she graduated High School her mom went with her to " the big city" and left her there... likely culture shocked.
Then she babysat for the son of the landlady of the rooming house, worked full time M-F, and went to night school. It was hundreds of strangers everywhere that she was unused to, plus working and schooling all day and night. Probably too abrupt an entry into the big city "rat races."
Suddenly, things hanging on the wall looked to her to truly sink into them. Things on a tabletop looked to truly sink into the table. Those were all the things she would tell me.
So she had to stay in her room with the blind shut, lights out in darkness or she would become highly upset seeing these things. Anyone wanting to enter and exit her room had to knock and wait for her okay so she would have her eyes covered against seeing anything.
Nobody thought she should be sent to what then were very bad "mental asylums."
Her landlady called her parents. Her parents paid for a psychologist to visit her regularly, which normalized her.

Dr Bernie, of course I choose to feel sorry for you ! So I am behind in listening to your podcast for different reasons. Anyway, my solution is to listen to the podcas of the day and one or two of the older ones. This way I can keep up on your humerus daily banter and happenings like Chealsea kicking butt so I can feel more connected with you guys again.🙂

Sometimes, people overdiagnosed the symptoms.. In my experience, some filipino seafarers were being sent home due to family problems wherein they experienced those three you mentioned: lost of control, lack of option, and fatigue that results to work dysfunction and mental breakdown.. when they undergo their psychological assessment here in the Philippines for their pre-employment medical. Exam, , our psychologist find it as a normal reaction due to familial and significant relationship concerns. person did not develop any psychological or psychiatric problem and they are in good condition... And yet some employers find it difficult to rehire them..

Hey mate i was trying to watch your vid but the audio is very low and distracting.. do you reckon you could repost with good audio this is a really good vid apart from that.
The one on ones are hard to come by they always has an infomercial vibe if catch my drift.
Cheers mate.

There is no “getting back to normal” Anybody struggling with mental illness just wants to feel better. To live a manageable life. To learn. To grow and flourish. It’s stressful to hear that phrase whilst struggling with a mental Heath disorder because of the shame society places/and we place on ourselves to be “normal”. I would encourage coming up with a more inclusive phrase. The whole podcast felt highly impersonal.

im sorry... your other content may be good .. but that was 37 min that told me nothing. ... how is it defined, what are common symptoms, when is it something more concerning?

My name is Tymeshia Minniefield i have had a series of traumatic events life long and it has caused me to isolate from the world and either let a million thoughts consume my mine or sleep all day and its not healthy for my well being. The tarot cards and readings didn't help over time either. Deciding to give hell back to hell and Go get help TODAY
