Nervous Breakdown

Hello all! I am brand new here and finally had a mental breakdown Monday at work that I struggled to get under control. I suffer from anxiety & depression & it’s finally become to much for me to handle on my own. I am seeking help in therapists & a group. I live in Athens GEORGIA and do not have support groups available at a location. So here I am.

Welcome to the island of Misfit Toys. 😊

Everything okay at work after your breakdown?

Honestly I’ve been out since. Work is the problem & the final straw that broke the camels back per say. I’ve been in contact with HR & there’s a investigation underway about how I’ve been treated. So I work this weekend & Monday but Monday will be the day I face everything that’s now been brought to attention. My anxiety is unreal and I’m trying to focus on other things but I’m just a mess. This is very difficult for me as a independent woman to admit. That alone has been a task. 😔

You can only control what you can control.

Hope things end up well for you.

Welcome, it's so good that you thought to join the site and still get support and feedback. It hasn't let me down so far and has provided good encouragement. Glad you're here.

Welcome, I AM SURE YOU WILL GET THE HELP AND SUPPORT YOU NEED HERE. pEOPLE ARE SO KIND AND UNDERSTANDING, IT REALLY BUCKS YOU UP. Sorry for the caps. I'm not going to change them, too late. Anyway back to you....remember, you are not defined by your anxiety. You are still an independent woman. You are experiencing a little glitch right now. A curable condition if you will. Therapy was very helpful to me, it takes hard work and time but it pays off.One of the greatest helps for me was taking valium because it allowed me to calm down while I worked through my fears. I don't know what medicines are available right now in America but there must be something similar. You will get more suggestions from others too as to what worked for them. Anyway , you're one of us now so don't hesitate to post as often as you need to. Hugs from, Pam

Contact a large local church. Most mega-churches in GA have support groups for anxiety/depression. Don't worry about having religion shoved down your throat. The good ones don't do that.

I have learned that accepting and acknowledging it is a big part of healing. I am working on fighting mine and getting it under control. I believe in you.

I feel your pain! I have no support either. I live in Dalton Ga. No support groups here as well. Idk I'm going out of mind.
