I had a mental breakdown... I've never had one before but I've had a lot of trauma in my life and PTSD, the last few weeks I have not felt myself but I couldn't put my finger on it, I felt like I was very detached.. I went on holiday with my family and we had to drive past somewhere I used to go as a young child and it made me feel really strange, then a few hours later I had a breakdown which I don't remember now fully, it was like a panic attack for 12 hours or more and I was not ok mentally, I was not thinking straight and seeing things and thinking paranoid awful thoughts I was pacing and pacing around, eventually my partner had to take me home and get friends to pick me up as I was so unwell.... it's all very blurry but I've spoken to my dr and she has given me meds and refer me to counselling.. my partner says that he can support us financially if I leave my work and focus on doing nice things for myself and getting better and do counselling, I'm not sure what to do with myself to get better at the minute .... I'm scared to leave the house which has never happened I'm scared to even open the door.... I have gone from being so busy and functional helping people all the time to just being not ok in a very quick space of time I'm very scared, I'm sorry this is all so jumbled I just wanted to write this somewhere and if anyone has ever been through this or has any advice I would be so grateful to receive xxx
