Mental break

[aftucker]

I feel like I’m having a nervous breakdown. The stress and anxiety has become too much for me to handle. I’m seriously considering committing myself to a mental institution for help. I can’t keep my head above water any longer. I feel so alone. I have to do what’s right for my kids but my body and mind can’t keep up with the pressure to support us. I don’t want to work my job any longer. I feel backed into a corner with no way out. My brain is starting to crack. My thoughts are jumbled.

Hello, may I suggest when your feeling your losing it in your mind. Find the time to sit or lay down and clear out your mind of everything that is stressing you, and focus in the now with stillness, calm, peace. Just step away temporary. Your mind will settle down and you can control your thoughts, emotion better. Only then you make better choices and decisions. Remember you are your own creator. God Bless.

I understand some of how you’re feeling. I almost hospitalized myself last night but my suicidal thoughts subsided before I called 911. I fully support seeking professional help but just know you are not alone.

First off, (( )) virtual hug because you seem like you could really use one. You need to go with your gut on this one and seek help if you really feel you need to. Your kids deserve the best parent and it sounds as if you are at the end of your rope. Do you have someone you can call to talk; friend, therapist, doctor, pastor? Sometimes it helps just to have people listen, really listen and help us to see that things will get better. You will be in my thoughts and I sincerely hope you can get help to feel hope.

Thank you for the kind words. It seems so strange to jump in so deep with my woes in my first post. But I felt so desperate to hear reassuring voices. My own voice was being very cruel. I’m doing better now. Had a good talk with the husband which helped bring a rational, kinder voice to the conversation.

But I appreciate everyone who posted. You all were very kind. And it meant a lot to me that strangers cared enough to reach out.

Sorry I posted the same post twice. I wasn’t fast enough at getting one deleted before they both had comments on them. So I’m responding to both.

Thank you, again, my lovely new friends.

Hello aftucker, how have you been doing? I am so glad you have a supportive husband who understand you and is willing to help. You are blessed. Take advantage of this and see how he can support and help manage your stress and anxiety levels. I can understand that for everything going on around us now and our personally challenges can make life overwhelming. I know counselling can help, so in case you need help finding a counselor near you or if you need to talk to someone about this you can call 855-382-5433 for counseling consultation. Am also here whenever you need to chat, sending hugs and prayers your way.
