iv been where your at now, id just finished a relationship and had been sober for 2 months i wasn't a heavy drinker but it was enough to effect my life, i couldn't stop crying it didn't matter if i was out with my mum or if my best friend called i just couldn't stop and there was nothing any body could say to me to make me feel better i couldn't watch telly i couldn't read a book i couldn't concentrate, or eat. i didn't want to go out i didn't want to stay in, i just didn't know what to do with myself. i had to go to my Dr's a few times as an emergency, but she wanted to put me on diazepam i was already on antidepressant, but i wouldn't take the diazepam, in the end i had to it was the only way to give me a break from crying, unfortunately i ended up having a full break down i attempted suicide on many occasions, some thing just switched in me, that was 5 years ago now, but still have cronic depression. personal i think your very close to a break down but I'm not a Dr, i would strongly recommend you see your Dr and be truthful with them about whats going on. I'm your contact so you can email me if you need a chat, I'm on at different times but i promise i will get back to you. hold on in there and try if you can to make sure you eat and if you need to sleep a lot just sleep your body will need some time to recover, i really hope you feel better soon xHealth Question & Answer

Yes. You are correct in using the word 'breakdown'. Our body is also a kind of machine. It has to be overhauled periodically, maintained, repaired and tuned up. I always also use the term, that our body and mind has to be refreshed and recharged as frequently as possible. We have to get back to the originality. If you know how easily you can get back to the original position. Original position is always, peaceful and happy and with full freedom. Life is simple and easy. It is we who make it complex, complicated, cumbersome and difficult.

It is all happening because of accumulation of large quantity of impurities and imperfections in our body and mind system. We have to find ways and means to rectify such things by proper self analysis and proper steps.Health Question & Answer

Find something on TV to make you laugh.Try to sleep. If this continues go to the ER. Ihope you feel better. A big hug to you. OH if you have anything for anxiety, take one.Health Question & Answer

Go see someone. Your family doctor, your psychiatrist, a counselor at work or school, anybody you can. Dont try to battle this alone. Are you on medication.? You have a chemical imbalance going on in your brain and it feels worst than it is. You need to get that right to be yourself again and be able to handle things. Health Question & Answer

r u still there.?
i know that you need to find a therapist,, phychiatrist, etc but if you can't do it right now, that's okay too. if you can, do it. if you can't, well, maybe one of us can help. write 'go see doctor' on a sticky note and put it somewhere that you will remember. also, know that all of us want you to go see a doctor, so don't disobey the note1
jk. seriously, you need to see a doc soon.
if you're stuck (bad weather, too jittery, etc) try a few things to calm you down. read a book, it doesn't have to be War and Peace or anything--although that is pretty good, just abook you will enjoy and that will, okay this is going to sound like i'm Matilda or just really corny, transport you to another place. for some people, movies work better but i prefer books. whichever you pick, or both!, i would suggest some comfort food, hot chocolate, popcorn, whatever you like. i know that you feel terrible and the best, best way to not feel so terrible is to physically talk to someone. it really is. idk if you've had serious therapy before, but it almost always works, especially in a group, or it does for kids. a group of people you don't know but who are intelligent enough to throw you some questions and be able to relate. plus, you get to put them in the hot seat for some questioning. that always makes me feel better about sharing stuff.
sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to get a start back up. okay, a few times you'll get thrown back down again but once you start going up, there is no turning around. you might feel like you are, or you want to, but that's all a part of that.
i know what you feel like. sort of like you just want to curl up in bed and cry and cry until some kind of entity just takes you away to a better place. some people think that music helps, or fresh air. in the long term, therapy and probably medicine is the only thing that will help. sometimes, you might feel like you just want to cry until you're cried out, and you've gotten over it. unfortunately, it doesn't work that way for people with major deppressive disorder. crying just isn't a way to get over stuff, especially because you are probably crying about something more than most people feel about something. okay, sorry this is so long! i hope you start up on the right track soon:)Health Question & Answer

I'm not a doctor, but I definitely think you have anxiety and possible panic attacks.? I've been there....it's a really crappy feeling and to call a doctor or 911 isn't going to help you at this moment. Well, maybe 911, but my guess is they'll rush you to the hosiptal, then possibly commit you....well then you'll have something else to worry about and I doubt you need that right now.

I have the hardest time talking to people about what stresses me out, but you need to talk to someone...even if it's just as a sounding board. It's just having someone to listen makes a world of difference. Only based on my experience...the more I'd dwell on something and not try to either reslove the issue or work through it...just thinking about everything made me insane. I was prescribed anxiety medication, but in all honesty....it made things worse. I became more irritable and it only put a bandaid on the problem.

I don't know what causes your anxiety, but what I find that helps is writing everything down that creates the feeling that I would get and try to work through each one on my own time. Some things aren't a quick fix, but it doesn't mean we won't get through it. I think many people nowadays are experiencing anxiety and depression due to the economy, people losing their jobs and homes. It's scary! Life really throws some curve balls, but it's all in how we handle it. It's so much easier said than done, I know....but you have to ask yourself what is making you feel this way. Is it school, work, family, bills, personal insecurites.? You are not the only one who feels like you're having a breakdown.....I look it as a warning that we need to stop and look at ourselves. Take time for yourself and find out what it is that makes you feel the way you do. Nothing is impossible, but it doesn't mean there are no struggles. Relax...listen to some good music. Maybe think about seeing a therapist....like I said, it helps to have someone listen. Hang in there....life really sucks at times, but life is what we make of it. Health Question & Answer

I may not know exactly how you feel but I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety so I can at least understand where you're coming from.

Currently, I'm on 20mg Prozac. I also go to counseling every 1-2 weeks, which also seems to help out alot. I'm in grad school so I'm able to get free counseling through school.

I don't know what resources you have available to you. I know that many communities have a United Way where you can see a social worker for free. In any case you should talk to somebody b/c you shouldn't have to fight this alone.

You very possibly could be having a breakdown. Since you are not suicidal you don't need to go to the ER but certainly you should make an appt to see somebody next week.

I would recommend seeing a doctor b/c he could put you on medicine to treat your depression/anxiety. You will feel much better! The side effects will vary from person to person but usually the benefits outweigh the risks of harm.

Good luck. I hope you feel better soon! I know therapy is helping me. It's an everyday battle though. Life is tough sometimes. Hang in there!Health Question & Answer
