hello friend

Hi. You ok? I’m… better. On Sunday, while listening to a podcast on mental health, I noticed some things I had been feeling matched up with the podcasters description of a nervous breakdown. I googled and while I’m not a professional I saw similarities. Whether I was having one or on the edge of one I can’t say. 

Symptoms include;

• depressive symptoms, such as loss of hope and thoughts of  suicide  or  self-harm

• anxiety with  high blood pressure , tense muscles,  clammy hands ,  dizziness , upset stomach, and trembling or shaking

• insomnia

• hallucinations

• extreme mood swings  or unexplained outbursts

• panic attacks , which include chest pain, detachment from reality and self, extreme fear, and difficulty breathing

• paranoia , such as believing someone is watching you or stalking you

• flashbacks of a traumatic event, which can suggest undiagnosed  post-traumatic stress disorder  (PTSD)
