~Nervous Breakdown~That could be me?

OH Crap.......

I think I'm having one OR have had 1---not sure.

When I said to my psychologist last week about a stupid bitch-bully thing @ work, I said I felt some paranoia , and then he said............AArhh--You are definately "Burnt-Out" and you are finding things really hard to deal with, and you are not coping-- YEP===got it in 1!.

SO have just LOST IT with the kids who were squabbling over nothing, drove them to school---came home and googled...Nervous Breakdown,
I have many symptoms!

NOW I feel numb and weird

Hi Angiebabe, Another name for depression/anxiety/nervous breakdown is 'depletion'. (Actually, nerves don't break!) Try not to worry - and it's really good you're already seeing a psychologist.

Keep coming in here for support ...... Hugs, Daze

It is good to hear you are seeking help from the 'professionals' - 'Burnt out' working and bringing up a family, taking care of a household etc I can totally understand the dr telling you this.

Take some time out for yourself ..... maybe get some time off work or a weekend away from the chores.....

thinking of you.... take care of YOU

Hey,

Burn out is a real issue and is a big problem.

Please not burn out and nervous break down are two different things.

Please be careful when googleing infomation espically symptoms etc cos they may become self forfilling proficies (bad sp).

Burn out is when your resources and abilty to cope with a situation are exhasted, it is of concern and the best way to try deal with it is a break from stressors i.e. a week off work (med cert from doc saying stress related), a pleasurable night to yourself etc.

A nervous breakdown is a couple of steps further on where ones ability to cope and function is all bar non-existant.

I hope you get some time to treat yourself soon.
