Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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>

Answer 4

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

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.

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.
