Usually anything traumatic is character building if you can survive the experience.

I've never experienced it so don't know from experience... instict says that it would make you stronger once you know that you have come through it to the other side.
But I guess the only way to really make you stronger is if the breakdown is dealt with properly... i.e. all the issues that have caused the breakdown are assessed and are overcome by the indivdual so that they wont be as detrimental to them in the future.

Bruce,
It can make your stronger if you learn from it. However, many people don't apply what they've learned from one stressful situation to another one. That's wear trouble starts and why people seem to be on some sort of emotional roller coaster. I think too, in some people their resiliencey to "snap back" from a stressful situation is actually lessened when the next stressful situation comes along. My suspicions are that nothing was done to help them with earlier stressful periods and from then on, they react in the same unhealthy manner when somethiing similar comes along.
Breakdowns or near breakdowns are very serious business, indeed.

I'm not convinced that it does in the short term. I think you remain vulnerable for some time. I think what you learn from a breakdown is how to avoid another - because you get to learn the signs. So I don't think you become stronger, but I do think you can become wiser. Hope this helps :)

that's a very good question. i would have to say yes it does but i would never do it just to do it or use it as a training method. strength come from experience real experience and not training to do it. everyone knows a good cry is worth it once in a while but i wouldn't want to do it just because.

my understanding is that anybody can have a breakdown if they are pushed beyond their limits. I am not certain that it will make you stronger. depends very much on individuals. if you look at survival as a positive then it might make you stronger , however with a lot of people it leaves them apprehensive and scared and in need of support. even if they do not show it

Hopefully it will just cause you to be cautious. I know now what not to do to make me get to that breaking point. I've learned the hard way. Sure you learn from it, but it does affect you long term. It has taken years to piece things together and make sense out of everything. Just doing the best to love myself, and not be too hard on myself and learning from my experience is the best advise I can give.

It does make you stronger ( but you could have been extremely week to begin with ) what it does very efficiently is alter your perspective .
