I Think I Am Having A Nervous Breakdown

Postby nataliew26 » Sat Jan 31, 2015 2:48 am

Hi my name is natalie and I am 26 and I am new to all this forum stuff but willing to give anything a try I have had mental health problems for numerous years seeing a psychiatrist a psychologist and a CPN and still I feel no further forward with anything still feel the same and not getting any answers as to why I feel the way I feel and feel like giving up all hope of ever finding out the problem. myself and my partner had a row on Friday morning and I have been in a very emotional state and can't pull myself out of it or stop all these emotions flooding at one I can't sleep I can't eat I can't stop shaking uncontrollably I have racing thoughts that just won't stop and it's making me think I am losing the plot and somehow lost control over my own body like someone has just took over and I can't stop it I feel like I can't go on and that I have let everyone down and don't want anyone around me so they don't have to deal with or see this sorry excuse of a human not being able to control myself but as I look back its as if this sudden explosion on emotion has actually been there all along and gradually sneaked right up on me and hit me with a massive blow I don't know what is going on and I don't no what to do I don't what to contact out of hour for fear they will section me as I have 2 kids scared confused and don't know what to do and feel like I have no one to turn to

I was stupid enough to think I could actually get some advice maybe it's because late in morning but I can't shut off even after taking my meds worst feeling in the world is being trapped in your own head with your demons :twisted: so distressed and confused :cry:

if you want or fear being sectioned then ironically you probably don;t need to be sectioned ...

why ? it means you have insight to some degree into what is going on.

Hello Natalie

Your posts are less than two hours apart. 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"

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.

Hi Natalie

I know where you are cming from, I have been there myself.

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.
