What Are The Symptoms of a Mental Breakdown? The Day I Snapped (Mental Health Doc) | Only Human

😂🎉😢😮😅😊

Burnout was the beginning of the end for my mom.. In the end, she got a heart attack and passed away.

When it comes to myself, I got burned out pretty soon after I graduated. Still not recovered.

I own a very successful business - worth millions of dollars - perfect life on paper - and I had a severe mental breakdown. Luckily I had the option of stepping down and appointing a new CEO, however, I understand not many are as lucky as me. I am talking to private equity firms to sell and want to do something simpler to finish out my life (age 40)

Today I almost snapped, luckily I had previous experiences of this feeling of almost losing control over my emotions which just so happened to be anger at the time. I have found effective strategies that help alleviate these overwhelming emotions and I had to use all five of them just to cool off

This is happening to me right now, i am trying my best to communicate this to those around me but the advice i get almost every time is to "suck it up". I didnt show up to work today, and need to get the sick leave paper (idk what its called) and im so anxious that the doctor is going to dismiss my struggles.

To anyone out there struggling, please do what you think is the best for your mind and soul. Do not put up with anything <3

I've tried to find a place to hide my love and overwhelming devotion so outsiders might know how deeply you mean to mean.
I've tried to throw my love in the deepest oceans, hide it in the biggest craves and burn it I the hottest fire hopping the strongest wind will carry it away.

12 hr shifts are making me physically ill. Acid stomach, chest pain, dizzy from work elevators. I have chronic pain & multiple areas of arthritis. Walking hurts. Financial stress on top of work stress & mobility struggles.

"There was no value in what I was doing...."
Yep.
That was my 'Last straw,' too.

I can relate with their experiences… everything went downhill once I got that promotion at work

Most people assume breakdowns are only like what they see on tv, but it can be different for everyone. In my case i didn't explode.. i "imploded." On the outside i looked normal (for a while) but i just went quiet and stopped talking to everyone, lost interest in everything, slept all the time to pass the days, barely ate AND ate like a glutton at the same time, stopped taking care of myself and neglected everything, and much more.
What really hurt the most was my family noticed but acted like nothing ever happened.

I has a nervous breakdown of the street so severe (without warning) that during the crisis I almost fainted and people came over and started carrying me inside a restaurant. For me it was due to a series of cumulative stress/anxiety throughout 2 years and in this day nothing particular triggered it but all emotions came up bursting out like when when shaking a soda can. I started hyperventilating and couldn’t breathe and started screaming and crying and that’s when I was falling down… Thank God for the people that helped me!

This is how I feel everyday

Hopefully in the UK they can watch this program uninterrupted unlike us in this godforsaken capitalist country the USA every five minutes interrupted with an advertisement which makes all the stress worse!!!!

Having a mental breakdown to the max and saying that’s I didn’t mean that could offend other people

I’ve had a nervous breakdown 5 years ago..
I can feel another one coming. Fighting the depression among other health problems. Every day battle. Feels like I’m just to defeated to go on

I'm having a mental breakdown right now as i type this. 😢😢

The problem with work enviroment is in team work there needs to be sn positive space. All positive. Workers need to be engaged in such a way.
There days there are too many MBAs trying to cut corners. Instead there needs to be empowerment drawing on the skills of these professionals.

This was amazing. When the man said he feels good when he leaves work on Friday but then feels anxiety about going to work as soon as he wakes on Saturday... that's me.

in australia more companies just don't care about their customers they reward psychopaths and thugs

what jobs exactly are causing this stress according to that bald headed man?

This is an interesting programme, but what happens when someone who is living on the poverty line has a breakdown? Are we even allowed to? I think it's a quick route to homelessness. End of.

our modern lives have us in treadmill from college to work and we run ourselves into the ground

Having been a money market dealer can totally relate

My goodness, that badger is adorable 🤗

This is very well done. Grateful for these people who shared their personal lives with the world. I'm in the US. I know that path to destruction first hand. The workplace tells us, live a balanced life. Mental health professionals and medical doctors tell us, take these pills. But it's rare that I hear, you need to radically change your life and this is how and I'll help you. I feel we're on our own. I know so many people, workers, who are addicted to fill-in-the-blank. Broken.

Where is Sigma Recovery???!!!!i need Help...please call...⚡⚡⚡💔

Mental illness showcases the inherent poor build quality of the human race. Viva malthusian

I had a complete mental breakdown at 40, what saved my life was going on a ketogenic diet and eating fermented foods, like homemade kefir, homemade sauerkraut. If you can't think clearly, constantly worrying about everything, and feel like you're falling apart look into changing your diet. Sugar and carbs are very inflammatory for some people.

Lol in the U.S if your 5 mins late , work ONLY calling to see if your on your way in , NOT to see if u are ok if life itself not stressful so BREAKDOWN 😂 Is a joke ! Give them ya life , they won't even send flowers to your funeral, will replace u FAST ! Is why when u out there , SAVE and know your limits, don't over do yourself period for nothing or no one ❤️

Great doc very inspiring

I couldn't hear the narrator over the buzz saw and now I am mildly annoyed- a memoir by me

Aren't many people taking on jobs they can't handle in the first place? Plus aren't some jobs not meant to do a whole life but only for a short time. Is our addiction to consumption and status enslaving us?

Big ups to the badger rescuer man!

A few weeks ago I started to wonder if I’m losing my mind but now I just don’t care really. It doesn’t matter either way so what’s the point in wondering or keeping track.

This video should be mandatory viewing in schools hospitals and mental heath services

Depression is anger without enthusiasm.

It was good to see that they had something else to fall back on. There are those that arent that fortunate. Loans, debts can be a ball and chain that can drag a peron deeper and deeper down below the surface drowning you, because you dont have anyway out.

This is a Physical Breakdown. You would be in a straight jacket or completely out of your mind if it was mental. Companies are over working people and it should be illegal. 40 hours a week should be the limit.

Sometimes I wonder if breakdowns in some situations are "normal" reactions to a highly abnormal state of our current society. Society has become highly complex and demanding while at the same time, social supports have become weaker. The previous generations that had a sense of purpose and persistence/fortitude during difficult times were grounded by community and spiritual meaning, which has all but fallen away in the last few decades. I think this loss and the complexity/demands impacts sensitive souls the most. I recommend that people simplify their lives as much as possible (material items, debt, social media, unwanted social obligations), take time out in nature to gain perspective, and pray or meditate to reconnect to the essential.

Literally got fired a week ago. Ddint have enough sleep ofc. Past is full of trauma but nope no asked why. I even apologized

Thank you for this documentary. So glad to find I'm not alone.

Taught High School for years. It was soul destroying. Nothing was ever good enough, micromanaged all the time, goals were always set, but were completely unrealistic and unachievable …..then I snapped, and broke down….. walked away. Then had a heart attack. But, a new direction opened up and I took it. Never looked back.

I had multiple mental breakdowns last year, as it was possibly the hardest year of my life. I am still standing, and I am actually doing very well now because of the saving grace of Lord Jesus Christ. I have utilized tools such as therapy, medication, and group support as well as self-care, but I am powered by the Lord, I wish the same for all of you. Please know that there is healing in the Holy Spirit and that He desires to grant all of you that. Many blessings and peace to you and your loved ones. ❤🙏🏻

Most people who say they are breaking down actually harm the mental health of people who have to live with them and put up with their self-centered personality.

Life is the choices you make.

Constant pressure to produce, never rest. Make money or you're a douchebag (or crazy)... There's something profoundly sick about society. The whole thing revolves around money... I don't blame these people for getting tired of it. More to life than money. I won't earn popularity points for saying that.

Simple.....did you vote for Biden?! If yes, you've had a mental breakdown. See, easy peasy!!

Only Jesus gives us true peace. Once you have Him in your heart knowing that you are forgiven by grace and that you will have eternal life, whatever happens in this life won't be THAT relevant.

I blame our public schools. Children start knowing who they are and what they are naturally inclined to do. With a one size fits all education. A variety of people now become a school of fish. To be guided and molded one in the same. Told when to pee, programmed by bells. An a student who was once mechanically inclined is now a drop-out because English literature wasn't his thing.

Unfortunately this happened with my friend I’ve been dating and now we get to find out if he gets to go to prison again.
