Nervous breakdown

I'm so scared I'm going to have a meltdown in public one day I dont want people to see me like that. Also, when I travel my anxiety level goes up. I'm so tired of this feeling inside.

hey :),

what makes you so nervous to break down in public? I understand where you can be coming from. I used to be afraid to as well, hell I had a second panic attack after having my first in my 8th grade earth science class b/c two of my friends noticed; but after it happened a few times, i noticed that it was something I couldn't help, but also that the people around me came to support me and check that I was okay.

Sure not all situations are gonna be the same, but how did it go if it happened in the past? I can try to do my best to support you if I can get a feel for what's going on?

When I'm overwhelmed or feel trapped ,for instance in traffic. Also when I'm out of town plus in a large crowd

So what?! I've broken down publicly a few times and guess what? I'm okay. Those were the days when I didn't know I was anxious and depressed. I did not know that I could get professional help (thought I had be more spiritual/religiously devoted/be more holy etc.). When I had those moments I found people around me were kind and graceful. They were not shocked by my tears and my trembling body. Perhaps you are not getting what you need to cope with daily life. Have you really taken care to see if you need meds/excercise/time with family more regularly. Have you spoken to your doctor. If you fall apart, it means you're human, like everybody else. It means you care about stuff and you're trying your best... x
