That doesn ' t give people very long to come and answere you before assuming they won ' t . This is not a crisis service it is a support forum . People are not around reading 24/7 and not everyone that reads will have anything to say . If you need to talk to someone that will not section you then you can call Samaritans 24/7 I very much doubt out of hours would section though with the bed crisis I and the fact you are well enough to fear it so obviously have insight like Marty says . Please do contact so , done for help , whether it is Samaritans , out of hours or a friend . Courage doesn ' t always roar . Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying " I will try again tomorrow " Top MartynH Posts : 63 Joined : Sat Dec 27 , 2014 1 : 16 am Re : I Think I Am Having A Nervous Breakdown * Quote Postby MartynH " Wed Feb 04 , 2015 12 : 08 pm acorn wrote : Hello Natalie Your posts are less than two hours apart .

Thanks for agreeing with me Acorn ref the sectioning stuff . you are spot on aobut the nature of this site and forum , most of the users of the site have their own lives , difficutluies and in some cases ' real life work ' meaning we can ; t be here all the time to answer posts on demand - that said 2 hours can be a hell of along time if you are alone and suffering .

In those panic situations you cant help but imagine the worst , its in the nature of your illness . A & E at nearest hospital should have a psychiatrist so you should try there first . See your GP and ask for a referral to a psychiatrist asap . There is probably a better medication you could be on . Join your nearest mental health support group . Things WILL get better . Make sure your partner knows exactly what is going on with your illness . He is no doubt having a hard time too . You need his support .
