Hi claayer

Had first when I had the 1st 3 kids in 3 1/2 years and 1st husband used to go on the beer and leave me to it

It's not an easy time even WITH two people is it..

then its harder alone..


BUT!!

even it's harder when there is someone making the situation EVEN more difficult.

Yeahhh I hear that. My EX the kids dad was a Keg on legs.

... you have such hilarious expressions Tina..

I thinks weird!


If you are crazy already....then there is no place to go......you can't go crazy!

If your are crazy.....then become an actor and act normal.....then nobody knows the truth.

If you crazy....put Cheerios in the toilet and sink them as you pee......then try it one handed with one eye closed.

love that, Keg on legs

Yes I have had a break down, It was really bad! After living with an abusive husband for years, made me insecure, really I was never sure of right or wrong after that. After I got out, I spent most of my days on ups, and very low lows. Then I had cancer and had to have surgery that left me unable to have kids. And was with a Man I loved more then life it's self. We had talked about having kids. And he had said he wanted them very much, it was very imortant to him. After surgery he said it didn't matter, that it was ok.But what I knew to be true thru me into a deression I could not get out of. So I left him so he could meet someone that could have kids and have a normal life. Leaving was the straw that broke the camel's back. I just one day started to cry, and the crying kept getting harder till I could not even speak. I ended up in the hospital, got counciling, the right meds. And was doing ok I thought. Then I met a man on CS we have been talking, And I now find a lot more days that I have something to look forward to and am hapy most all the time!

Dont know about a nervous breakdown but I have had an emotional breakdown which the effects are similar to a nervous breakdown...


It took many years to overcome that... i too was on meds for that time, I am stronger now and have made many gains in the area of my emotions...overcome a lot of obstacles that hindered my recovery but after a period of time found the strength i needed along with the meds and some therapy, to deal with and let go of the circumstances that I allowed to control the way i felt...which gave me the boost to overcome the obstacles and become emotionally stable again......




well as stable as any woman can be when it comes to emotions i guess...

There´s light at the end of the tunnel OK ,but there´s a curve in the tunnel,that´s all

I don't ever ever ever want to live through the depth of depression ever again...And I'm just fine with the fact that a part of the solution is meds...more than fine...I'm freakin' thankful!

No i can thank my lucky stars i have not ever been where you were...

Never been on any kind of medicine....

But now i have Eric..So who knows what will happen from here

"I remember people at the time use to say to me. 'Don't worry there's light at the end of the tunnel'."

The suicide of a wife and mother of our children and 'post traumatic stress syndrome' after years at war in different armies was not easy to deal with. I didn't hesitate to go for anti-depressants. They worked well.
Light at the end of the tunnel? No, not really; all I did was change tunnels with no real idea of where it's going, only now it's not like a roller-coaster ride...but hey, always look on the bright side of Life!
(got a flashlight?) %D

I think you would probably muster a smile at one of my tee shirts Solitaire, it has the slogan, "the light at the end of the tunnell is temporarily out of order".............

I think I'm about ready bigtime for a nervous breakdown, followed by death-by-drinking...but before I do that, I want to spend all the money in my bank account going around the world, do that greek island trip, paint that painting, go see some people, build that house.......
oh shoot, I just remembered, I can't have my nervous breakdown yet....I'm too busy...maybe next year...

Exactly!...

fast track to the funny farm..

hahah I like that

I been lucky never suffered with depression, I had some real bad times but with support from Queserasera who's also on the forum been able to cope. I can guess you can say we are a two woman support group.
However i think when the shit hit the fan i was fed up not depressed there is

I work with people with depression and sometimes it hurts to see them dealing with it not able to get out of bed and care for them self. I count my blessing and would urge any one to seek professional help if their are feeling so low they finding it hard to function.

Hi Gals, Good to see ya again! I've been in the darkest of places as well, Could actually write many books if I had'nt met you guys.
Remember...There's always a light at the end of the tunnel! I Promise! I saw the tunnel a couple times and had too many new chances to disbelieve.
Sxy666 checked my spirit a couple times...666 is Satans # and "bloody tunnel." I also guarentee the tunnel will appear bloody if you follow the wrong paths in life. It's quite simple are we more good or evil....happy or mad...help or hurt..on and on yet I'm just like all of you with different life experiences. Technically, we all F$#@ up and do or have made mistakes and that's OK as long as we don't get trapped into repeating them or beating ourselves up over them day after day.
My opinion on Nervous breakdowns is that they can be caused by a few different things. 1) Too much mental oppression from Satans little helpers like certain evil people or life situations,2) Simply chemical imbalance which there's nothing wrong with if you know what medication gets it right.(BTW, if you take medication, don't feel bad about it either cause what do people with diabetes do?) or 3) a combination of both.

Hope this helps in some way, LEMENO if you waan laugh now!

Its so bloody difficult for people at times isnt it Mair....... I have a couple of friends who suffer from bouts of manic depression and my heart really goes out to them - one of them is locked up in a long term institution for his own good and his life was a living hell before this happened........

The lucky ones imo are the ones with the actual physiological wherewithall to fight their way out of the deep dark holes - its a wicked illness with no way out for many sadly - my friend in the long term care place is a really intelligent guy but he just cant seem to think his way out of this horrible place........... luckily, most of us can turn it around and get back to getting on with our lives.

I took anti-depressants for a while after a series of life disasters, I actually think that the doctors push em em like dealers for the kickbacks involved - I dilligently took mine every morning for a couple of years till one day, I looked at my life and recognised that I strongly resembled a lump of inanimate stone - I think that was round about the time I started to look into positive attitude - I stopped the pills - got into trouble with the doctor for stopping them too quickly too but nothing much had changed and I'd recognised that they werent a panacea which would miraculously create a better life for me on the spot and that actually gettinh 'happy' was down to me and the choices, attitudes and behaviours I chose to adopt.

They served their purpose for the time I took them, thats without and beyond a doubt - even had they been placebos, they gave me hope for the future - for brighter days to come....... and they also took the edge off while I was getting my head round some effing crazy life events - I would do it again but happily, I dont envision ever being so low again as a part of my future..............

I take the fifth on that one, and refuse to answer on the grounds that may tend to incriminate me
