A nervous breakdown is more than just casual feelings of anxiety or uneasiness. A nervous breakdown is an intense breakdown of your entire existence and mind. I experienced one and it is caused by overwhelming loads of stress in a sudden moment. Your thoughts will be racing, you will be in a state of panic, you will feel uneasy being in your own body and feel like your losing control of your mind. It is a scary situation, and you have to confront yourself and deal with it. I know understand a Radiohead song when the lyrics say For a moment there, I lost myself. You temporarily lose yourself and become unable to function because instead of choosing Fight or Flight, your mind chooses the lesser known option of Freeze and breakdown. You have to take baby steps and reassure yourself that if you keep going and riding it out, things will get better over time. Just rest and focus on breathing, don't try to control your thoughts, just accept them and keep reminding yourself that you need time to recover which could last hours or days.

I am a slightly shy person, I don't cope well in large groups
and can make me do some weird strange stuff.
I was showing my ocarina (an instrument)
to my family as I had just got it on christmas.
my aunt was showing me different breathing techniques and was
teaching me what I was doing wrong, (note there was about 6 people in the room)
I don't know why but I was getting really nervous. It made me panic
since I didn't know why I was so scared, my family tried calming me down
but since they noticed me panicking only made it worse
so now I WAS PANKICING OVER PANICKING!
It got so bad I started to joke about my stress.
after about 5 minutes I left to go cry and pass out in the safe
space of having my head under my bed, (note I have claustrophobia)
I have no clue why I found it safe there but if I can't see people
they Ain't my problem.

Has anyone ever had a feeling of built up emotions, more of crying and sometimes mixed in with anger, that happens in certain social circumstances and you just try to hold it back until youre able to get yourself out and alone and are then able to let it out?
For me personally, I think sometimes I have the self knowing of what Im capable of when it comes to interacting with people and just being myself, but at times, I just feel physically and mentally exhausted for whatever reason (school, work, other stress) and those times I actually want to connect with other people and just have a good time, theres something that holds me back even though deep down I want to just want to express myself, but that then creates a conflict within myself to where this nervous breakdown starts to build up until Im able to get back to isolation where then I can let it out.

I was 11 years old when I had my first panic attack. It was during school time when my English teacher was handing out the testpaper results. I had never gotten full mark that year for English so I had studied a lot for it. When she was handing them out. I suddenly started sweating so bad and felt tightening in the chest. I didn't know what to do. I was just sitting there and then finally I got mine and the panic attack went away ( but I did not get full ) Sometimes I feel just so exhausted and tired even though I had so much rest. I sometimes feel so upset at night. Sometimes I hear someone calling for me like my mother but it would be illusions and sometimes when I turn around or something I would like hallucinate So.
Please take care of yourself and if needed consult a doctor and for me. I can only take care of myself

After I had one, I saw it differently.
It was actually a nervous breakTHROUGH.
My eyes were opened & I see things for what they are, I no longer allow drama in my life- that includes family members who I released with peace & love- & I'm far better off for that breakthrough.
Trauma can trigger awakening. a nervous breakthrough is a subconscious unraveling of deeply held beliefs that no longer serve you.
It's part of ascension into the higher being you are intended to become. a soul upgrade, a journey inward where your true & absolute power waits.
We are So Much More than we are led to believe.
Not everyone can feel empathy, bliss, compassion. not everyone can access higher human emotions.
Learn to spot the posers.
Oh. cats. love both but cats. best roomies ever.

I hate how people know my problems, and know Im overly stressed at the moment and I cant talk or manage to make a single noise- they expect me to tell them what is going on. Ive had too many cases in my life where I have had these moments where the standards for me are too high to handle. As I suffer from anxiety, depression, and possibly even more mental illnesses, everyone thinks of me to be normal. I just cant magically make my day better, I cant even control many of my emotions sometimes. School alone is too much to handle stress-wise. Hardly anyone knows what I deal with. My only getaway from stress is being free from stress, just being at home helps me reduce lots of stress. Middle school sucks.

Im in the middle of one now and feel so dizzy and foggy and cross eyed and very low energy. Just came on from doing too much for too long pushing myself then I missed a dose of anxiety and depression meds the other nite because I had a Bloody Mary too close to meds time and didnt want to mix alcohol with my Paxil and zanax. Thats all it took to take me down to the level of a breakdown Im getting through it with plenty of fluids and protein vitamins healthy things but its up and down on day 2 now. One minute I feel like Im coming out of it and the next minute hubby said something that sent me into a spin and I am right back to trying to just sleep it off. I think the brain fog is the worst.

Even when I get a good nights sleep it doesnt prevent me from feeling extremely depressed and anxious when I wake up. It is like I am living in a nightmare. The first hour after getting up is hellish but I go for a brisk 10 minute walk which usually helps. Then when I get my dinner soon after I feel much better. I can actually have a normal day. But when awakening the next day the same old hellish symptoms are there. I am finding it very difficult to break this cycle and it is really fuelling my anxiety. Wishing everyone on here peace and I hope your quality of life improves. :)

I recently had/am having a nervous breakdown, to the point where I have all these symptoms (& more) and developed OCD, plus rummaging. At the end of the night my fingers feel raw, my eyelids are heavy and practically closed! I barely have eaten or drank anything, my body is dragging and begging to rest, BUT my mind is hyper and saying otherwise! My mind lead me or telling me that I am not finished! It is tortuous and painstaking, I end up passing out of pure exhaustion.

I just mentally broke one day. Severely disrupted my day to day life. There was confusion, questioning myself, depression, extreme fear of being alone.
This isnt a recovery story. That was 4yrs ago. It completely broke me and I havent been the same since then.

Basically a broken home and then realizing what went missing over the last 12 years in the society has just now given me everything but the hallucinations and the mood swings and I'm not continuing to play the game until those hit. Life's too God damn short!

You can have schizophrenia with hallucinations and NOT have nervous breakdowns but you dont have nervous breakdowns with hallucinations unless you have schizophrenia or some other brain damage or split personality disorders. GET YOUR INFORMATION STRAIGHT!

I'd just like to add my Dad had hallucinations, mood swings, depression & exhaustion. He had a brain tumour but was mis diagnosed with a nervous breakdown. (The excruciating headaches from the tumour came later. Never be afraid to get a 2nd opinion.

Pretty sure I experienced this when I was in 4th grade, everyone was being a hypocrite and was basically bullying me.
Or perhaps it was a panic attack, something like that which caused me to cry uncontrollably.

This probably has nothing to do with this video but does anyone else prefer to comfort people than be comforted than people because you don't want to feel like a burden or you're scared that they won't care?

As someone diagnosed with depression and anxiety, I can say these thing are so accurate for me. Good thing I finally got the help I need and continue on with therapy.

You know you're depressed when you're jealous of people who feel apathy. That sounds so much more comfortable than the overwhelming rage and hatred I feel toward myself.
