What are the symptoms of a nervous breakdown?

by Symptom Advice on February 16, 2011

My mother has left me and my dad, and shes going around the town with all of these different men.

I cant eat,sleep, i don't want to do anything and i hate everyone, i am shaking constantly and im isolating myself from everyone.

Help.

i dont think theres any actual symptoms of a nervous breakdown honey but i am one hundred percent certain you are having one or will have one i with all my heart believes everyone has a nervous breakdown…. esp children from familys of divorces… i dont like what im reading because thats so wide spread out here .. your mom isnt going around the town with all these different men .. shes being USED. it almost looks like she and most us women are literally being kidnapped or demon possessed…society will always rear its uneducated ignorant mean head on things like this one ..i yell walk their shoes… we gotta rocknhard place in these instances.. sometimes just crying is a symptom … and that shaking stuff .. see you are onehundred percent connected to your mom so you will shake .. i dont blame you for hating everyone . why isnt your dad fighting for her.. another problem some women dont want their men to fight for them they wanna be free from them i know nothing about your dad.. its not our business.. these damned businesses out there are no help at all … !!!dont isolate yourself theres a million children just like you… you are gonna have to force yourself to take care of yourself.. this is amental hell of a world were going thru thesame thing so you got to force yourself to take care of yourself.. do you know the lords prayer? Pray it.. take some baby steps get back on track .. find something you enjoy doing you have to find something to enjoy so you wont get depressed.. you probably miss her terribly.. hugs.. i think we all feel like this dont wanna eat cant sleep dont care about anyone or anything life sucks sometimes.. take an art class..it helps the emotions

This is a very difficult situation. To answer your question most directly, psychology does not recognize the existence of an actual nervous breakdown, but no matter what you want to call it, you are having an extreme response to stress, and if you are having a physical reaction in terms of not being able to eat, sleep, hating everyone, isolating yourself, and shaking constantly, then you may be experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety. I need more information, namely have you ever felt this way before? If so, for how long? how did you deal with it? for how long have you experienced this most recent episode? Have these symptoms improved or have they gotten worse?

Is there anyone you can really trust who can listen for you? Your father, a sibling, a close friend or other family member? If you are isolating yourself, you might want to try to seek out some kind of positive contact with at least one other person, even if it's only over the phone. and if you would prefer to speak with someone who isn't close to you, there are varied help lines available that you can call (teen help lines if you are a young person, other help lines if you are over 20, and several nonprofits and religious organizations have suicide prevention help lines that you can call–please don't consider that option and never forget that things will get better). also, with the symptoms that you are experiencing, you can get a doctor to prescribe Lexpro or Vicadin or another such drug if you want to go that route, but that's definitely your prerogative and is not necessary.

Take one thing at the time hunny!

Your world seems upside down. Ok it can be like that for a while. The good thing is that it won't always be like that.

The picture you have about your mother has possibly been dishevelled somewhat, talk to her. See what she is feeling . there is a deep reason why she has done the thing she has done. put yourself in her place, perhaps that will help both you and her.
It sounds as if she needs approving meeting the different men.

Give her time and understanding, she might have been really unhappy for ages and now she is flourishing and it may seem incomprehensible to you, she is perhaps as happy as ever.
The fact that your parents are not together anymore doesn't mean they don't love you. I would detest my parents to be together as they are so different!

Don't make it your problem sweetheart, it is not!

You are capable of making your own common sense decisions, so therefore you should just concentrate on enjoying you and your stuff. that means taking care of what you eat, how you sleep, and be aware of not isolating yourself as that will not benefit anyone. take care of something you like, such as if you have a pet, or a hobby such as writing or painting, or a sport or what ever it may be. I think you know what I mean. as soon as you divert your anger and upset to that you feel , you will be a calm person who in the end can say "ok, I have myself" . that is a good thing.

Don't dispair,

You are not alone.
