Mental breakdowns

[Marianastrenchlovr]

I been experiencing what I think I can call mental breakdowns. I feel so much rage that I don’t feel better unless I break kick or smash something in my room. The other day before work I was so triggered that I was crying uncontrollably before I walked out the door. I’m noticing these things have not happened in years since when I was maybe in school. I’ve convinced myself that my two friends I have are not really good friends and I’ve pushed them alway. I dont know why I am this way and it makes me hate myself even more.

Hi, thanks for sharing. I can relate to pushing people away. It sometimes feels like because I have so many problems and trauma no one should have to deal with me. But that’s where I’m wrong. I’m loved nevertheless and so are you. Maybe it’ll be helpful to reach out to your friends to chat.

That doesn't sound like a break down to me; however, I'm not a psychologist.

A break down is a complete loss of our coping mechanisms. Our usual methods of dealing with issues such as anger, fear and sadness cease functioning and we're left feeling broken. Nothing we try that used to work to help us cope with everyday issues such as being cut-off in traffic or dealing with a stubborn sibling will actually succeed. We'll find ourselves laughing inappropriately, saying things we would never say and not behaving as we normally would. We can't. We're broken. We can no longer carry on with 'business as usual.'

You would know if this had occurred and would need assistance rebuilding.

The good news is things drastically change for you post break down if you find the right person to help you. You find out what is really important. You have any number of realizations. If money was really important to you prior to your break down, you may find you couldn't care less about it now. And if being popular was your thing, you can't imagine why you cared so much what other people thought about you. You begin to understand yourself and learn.

It's an evolution in how we are in the world.

Thank you for sharing. I can relate to unexplained outbursts and emotions I can’t control. I struggle a lot around my time of the month. As I have gotten older it seems to get worse. Hormones can affect the chemical balance in our brains. I have found Vitamin B6 to help some . You might also want to check with a doctor. I kept a journal to see when and how often I struggled with uncontrollable emotions and feelings. Feel free to pm me if you want to chat. I will be praying for you. Just know you are not alone and we are here for you. Hugs & God Bless
