Answers:
Nelson,
I had a nervous breakdown in 1998. It wasn't pretty, but I am still here. I don't want to go into details, publicly, in this format. But I survived, and for that, I am grateful. Am I experienced? Not sure what you mean by that.

i have its really scary
its like you have no control over what u do its like sleep walking i didnt want to kill meself (lil austaiain talk) or nething but i felt EXTREMELY overwhelmed i had to stay home for a day...
I had one years ago, yes I felt like the world wouldn't let go...no, I didn't consider suicide...I never sleep well anyway.
The breakdown was brought on by my ex-husband beating me one time too many.
Any other questions?
too personal...but yes I had one.
i don't know what brought it on.
i felt like the whole world was watching me and judging me, i didn't kill myself because all i could think of was what "they"(everyone) would think of me. they would think me weak and a quitter. i've always had problems sleeping and for three days i didn't close my eyes once.
i've delt with those issues on my own and sleep better now and don't care as much what anybody thinks
yes i have...i couldnt sleep, and i actully got rlly sick i was puking like crazy...the breakdown was because i was taking this major high school assesment i was only in 7th grade! i skipped a few math levels and got into a high school mah class but had 2 take the HSA and got rlly nervous the whole mounth b4...actully i did rlly well on the test i wasjust so nervous right b4 the test i missed like 2 weeks of school cause i was sooo sick once it was over i felt rlly good and releved
I didn't, but my mother did, I had to tell her we were committing her, one of the toughest things I've ever done.
She got really paranoid, and had hallucinations that "blue people" were out to get her. She had a difficult time trusting us.
It was caused by stress, not by drugs or alcohol or sudden tragic loss.
You feel like you have lost control of everything and there is danger everywhere. You don't know where to turn, no one can be trusted. I am still not "through" it and it has been 3 years. what brought it on? Harassment from a boss.
well it felt like i had 23 different ppl yelling at me at once,yes i try to do that pills cut wrist i even hung myself ( not a good idea) i couldnt sleep or eat lost weight and i barley weigh anything at the start, i push ppl away..... well when i got over it it was like uncle sam took his steel toe boots off of my neck.. i lost my kids. what do you mean am i experienced? in being off my rocker? hell yea, i thank god he pulled me out of that crap
I have been through some hard times. When I got through it I felt incredibly strong within but my actions were very fool hardy and self destructive. It took counseling to help me get over it... If you wanna know what brought it on go read my blog. I am running a story about it called my best friend X.
I seen a doctor when i was depressed. He put me on medication for awhile. My brother died from depression so it bites big time. One needs to see a professional when depressed or thinking bad thoughts. Sometimes someone will say something that will help you or make you think. One word of advise and many will agree with me is that when things seem terrible and life seems to be dark, tomorrow will be better. Gauranteed.
I had one when I was twelve. I felt as if no one loved me and were leaving me alone. I decided to run away, but I just couldn't. Something was holding me back. So I stayed and went through it all and things got better. I was so happy and I started to love being alive again and also the fact that I was lucky to have a family, a home, and friends.
Hope that's good enough. See ya.
No, but have several family members who have. They are not the same after the experience. Insomnia was a major part of it for them.
Had one relative stay with us while/after the breakdown. Wouldn't go home to family because they were convinced that a book at home had messages in it that said they were going to die and the book was going to kill them. The person hardly ate or slept and wandered around the house all night. They were parent to 2 pre-teens and asked my parents if they could sleep with them because they were afraid to be alone.
Very sad, very scary, especially for their kids. Lots of medical care was necessary to get the person back to work and able to discern reality from the unreal, however they did have to get rid of the book
The term "nervous breakdown" is a bit dated. It also covers a LARGE spectrum of mental health issues. If any of the above things you mentioned are happening to you, it sounds more like clinical depression. IF the question DOES pertain to you...it's not so much as to what brought what on..having tried to commit suicide and surviving..The REAL issue is getting HELP. Call your local mental health organization, talk to you doctor, trusted friend, clergy, or call the national hotline number for mental health. The things you are talking about in your question are a bit disturbing..especially if you ARE experiencing any of them.
Good luck..and please take care of YOU>
Yes, I had a nervous breakdown brought on by pressure (school, friends, life in general) I felt exactly like this world wouldn't let me go and I considered suicide. Actually rather than not sleeping well I slept way too much. Once I got through it I felt sort of like I had a new lease on life. Hope that answers your question well.
