I thought it was just my usual depression and anxiety but usually I have different symptoms at different times. I guess having all of them at the same time is what a nervous breakdown is. Great. Now I can just...go back to my suffering. Thanks.

My stress and anxiety have been building up for the past two years. They are caused by people’s expectations of me and me carrying so many burdens upon my shoulders. I feel like everything and everyone are shouting for my attention and I do not know which one to attend to first. On top of that I had abdominal surgery which makes it hard for me to breathe deeply due to the tightness at times. I feel overwhelmed often. I started getting clumsy with chores having butter fingers and being absentminded. And then I started getting hand tremors and recently both my arms feel so weak. I feel depressed and just don’t want to get out of bed. My GP has prescribed some low dose medication for my anxiety but I believe I will sign up for some counselling sessions soon. It will be good talking to someone as I have been carrying this myself for a long time.

I had a nervous breakdown when I got humiliated in front of my peers. It was hard to get over it! Now I finally did after talking about it with others & acknowledging that I put myself in that position. 👍

Being with a narcissistic partner will also cause a nervous breakdown. All these symptoms are the same but more symptoms come with it. I know bc I had one at my lowest point in life. I was suicidal and tried to end my life 2 times. I didn't care anymore about myself or anyone. I just wanted the pain and hurt to go away. That was 2yrs ago and I'm still dealing with all the hurt and pain he put me through. But I'm stronger now and when I came up from the darkness, I came up a beast with no emotions no problem hurting him the same way he hurt me. I'm not sorry for the way I treat him now. In my eyes he deserves everything coming to him. I only feel this way towards him and only him. For me I try to take it one day at a time.

i had a full blown nervous breakdown during covid. Had all of the symptoms mentioned with constant panic attacks, extreme gut wrenching anxiety, crying spells and eventually many nights without a single minute of sleep. At the beginning of this year I felt it was creeping up on me again, but this time I knew exactly what to do. No need to Benzodiazopenes or Anti-depressants. I started breaking the downward spiral but breathing, meditation, good music, taking time out for me, taking days off at work and adjusting my diet. I also take some Gaba, Inisitol B1 and L-theanine as well as Ashwagandha and have to say that after a week I am already beginning to feel better. Take care of your mental health.

I was too kind to others that it hindered expressing myself totally, and even though I cannot go well with the people around me, I would just think of my rude/embarassing actions as imperfection of my whole being; acknowledge them, and move on since I am not perfect like everyone else.

Ignored the hell out of lockdowns. Never took their vaccinations. Healthy 55 year old.

I think I’ve had/am having a nervous breakdown. Whenever I’m anxious, my entire head shakes like I have Parkinson’s. My threshold for stress has decreased significantly.

[StellarAvenger]

I feel like I had a nervous breakdown over Christmas. It happened that night. I just got sad and anxious. Like this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. Feels like the culmination of everything leading up to this point. It usually comes on at night, the severe anxiety. it's a sinking feeling. I have not health insurance so I can't see a therapist.

[missvegan]

Someone near and dead to me is experiencing this, it’s hurtful a hard to be the person on the other side especially when you can’t add words to it.

[TheRealRealHousewife]

Let me tell you my version of a nervous breakdown now that I can halfway think straight. It comes from a long time of trying to focus on too many things and your brain (your emotions, stamina, all the things that make you tick throughout your life) is too tired or old or just been put through the ringer way too much. You keep saying You can do this but really you shouldn’t be doing it because it will stretch things that should not be stretched such as your nervous system. Then one day you may forget to take your anti depressant or do something way out of your comfort zone that your system cannot handle and you ZAP. Yes you ZAP‼️. You lose touch with the you that everyone knows and you get dizzy, sleepy, over tired, I’ll feeling, foggy, need complete silence, shocking burning sensations, chills one minute and sweating the next minute, a feeling that you think this could be anything that leads to the end of your life such as heart attack or just never getting your mind back again. So if you take care of yourself and drink fluids, eat proteins, rest, shove everything except what you can’t shove off the table and just do what is burning on the front burners you can survive and come out of it. I realize some never do come out of it and they end up much worse than I even want to think about right now while I’m in the middle of one. See it’s not brought on by anything someone does to someone it’s brought on by what you have done to yourself over the years by trying to do more than you should or by allowing things others do to hurt you. It’s not a flick of a lighter and boom you get Sick rather it’s that flick that brings it all to the surface that has been storing in your emotions. I am now on day 3 and have reached the emotional part where I’m able to cry and release it. I still have the dizziness but believe me I’m taking care of me right now and making my mental health my priority because it has already began effecting my physical health. I’m fixing those issues and going to unload a bunch of things I want to do but I am not capable of doing because I used too much of the nervous system a long time ago. I hope this makes sense and helps someone to take note and not try to overload yourself now because it may effect your entire future. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it and it took all the energy I have for now to think this through.

OMG, I think I'm having a nervous breakdown, right this very second!

[kellymccance]

If I get prescribed or diagnosed wouldn't I automatically lose my 2nd Amendment right? I lost my ability of obtaining a 2 year Medical Certificate for my job as a CDL driver all because I listed an antidepressant medication on the questionnaire. Imo there's consequences for getting help. Three options here, either deal with it and continue meltdown privately and STAY EMPLOYED or "get help" and get disabled and give up on employment.

[melissavazquez]

My boyfriend told me that he doesn't love me anymore. I did the worst thing by flying back to my old roommate because the pain was excruciating and I wasn't thinking. I wish I could take it back. All of the hurt I caused and leaving. I shouldn't have left. I don't know how to explain that I didn't leave with a rational mind. I'm going through a nervous breakdown.

[stephaniedeklerk]

I just had a baby 8 weeks ago. I had baby blues but woke up a few days ago having such severe panic and anxiety I feel I can't function and am losing my mind. The physical symptoms are so bad I can't eat I'm just in constant full on panic mode.

[travisnelson]

I have to move and haven't been able to find any place. I know I'm having one. Hard to breath. Having odd reactions like self soothing. Don't have covid. Can't cope anymore. This feels worse than what I would imagine death as. Keep crying. Losing my cool. Have no desire to work anymore. It's gotten so bad I'm tempted to go to the Dr. Not that they would help...

[magsasakangbicolana]

i am dealing with all these symptoms, , , but how cann i get over with this? i'm in a country where getting help was so expensive.., , ,
so i chose to keep it by myself and keep on seeking for online help...😔😔😔...
i don't want my loved ones to worried about me.., i'm just praying to God i can handle all of these, till the last day of my life...😔😔😊...

[uchihaitachi]

I have an exam tomorrow iam having a mental breakdown crying so hard with tears i don't know what to do iam shivering right know my body's shaking

[cuba]

I found I was getting increasingly paranoid, was questioning why I was being told certain things, why certain things were happening. The week before I felt I would definitely have a breakdown, I was panicky and perspiring profusely. I knew I'd have a breakdown if I didn't leave my work, I was AWOL at the time as couldn't get unpaid leave. The day I resigned I was told information that would cause a psychotic breakdown and also caused me to be suicidal. There was no escaping it, Luckily I managed to drive 400 miles to a safer place and 5 days later I was hospitalised for my own wellbeing . If you have a breakdown, tell the psychiatrist what has been happening, they will believe you.
