Hello, Can someone provide me some insight into getting through nervous breakdowns? When things are so overwhelming and you can’t concentrate, move, work, do anything really. Thank you.
I read this book by Clare Weeks and it was called “end anxiety now”. It focused on nervous breakdown than just simple anxiety attacks. As someone who has had a nervous breakdown, there is a big difference. The book really helped me understand WHY my body was reacting the way it was. Also, you can always voluntarily go into a psychiatric hospital and until your anxiety stops. I spent ten days in one. Before I went in I was shaking non stop for 25 days, almost for an entire day, I could not sleep, I could not eat, I lost 20 pounds, and the part that made me go to ER were the bad intrusive thoughts. The first night in hospital, they gave me medicine that worked and I have not had an anxiety attack since (about 30 days). I am able to eat and sleep. I feel back to me. My only regret is not getting help sooner.
I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!
6 months ago I had a severe panic attack and it’s changed my life. Scared of 99% of foods, can’t take meds out of fear, been hospitalized a few times cause of blood sugar drops and other health scares due to poor eating. I’m constantly scanning my body finding any little thing that’s uncomfortable and then fixate and panic over the smallest things. Whether be a smell I’m unfamiliar with, a weird sensation in my arm literally anything freaks me out….. who has had success with exposure or has dealt with similar issues. I feel like I’m unintentionally slowly killing myself but I’m too scared for meds and therapy doesn’t seem to make much of a dent right now. Please share some success stories I need hope.
What's a piece of advice you give when someone has constantly intrusive thoughts and ruminations that won't stop? Interested to see what you tell others.....more on this when I see some replies!!!
