I think I am having a no nervous breakdown

[diddlydeedee]

I grew up in an abusive home, was badly bullied at school, had a psychopathic ex who terrorised me physically and emotionally. I then went on to find another relationship that is abusive. I lost my dream career (that I strived for since I was very young) years ago due to a jealous colleague and the abuse I was going through at home.

I have just carried on and on, but something has snapped. I started a job and it's hell there too.

I have been having crying out burst and have no energy. I am feeling dizzy and can't do daily tasks. After going to bed at 6pm and wake up exhausted the next day and still can't function. I feel like I am having depersonalisation episodes.

Has anyone else experienced this. Is there anyone who has any good stories of getting better? I don't know how I ended up where I am in life. I don't know why I have snapped now when I have endured so much stress and just kept going.

I'm sorry to hear you have been through so much, and that you're having such immediate difficulties at the moment. I haven't experienced what you're describing but I do know that people can often recover quite quickly and very well from sudden extreme breakdowns with the right support. A friend of mine had a complete psychotic break a couple of years ago, it was a very bad breakdown to the extent that he ended up in a psychiatric intensive care unit. However he made a complete recovery and he and his wife have recently had a baby.

Contact your GP and tell them exactly what you've written here. They will be able to refer you to the right mental health services to support you. Best of luck.

Thank you outfoxedbyrabbits for replying. I know I need help. I have been suffering for so long, I don't know who I am anymore.

I hope the GP can help me.
