I (28 female) have anxiety problems and am on xanax & depression & am on imiprine. I feel mad one minute & then angry the next at myself for being mad. Then hit myself with things & want to pull my hair out & do at some times. I hate myself. I try to do everything to please everyone. I went to therapy but i feel like the doc looked down on me just like I feel like everyone else does. I have two beautiful children(1&4 )& very supportive husband & I just do not feel like i am worthy of them or anything. I just want to die but i can not stand the though of my family being mad at me. I have failed everyone & wish i could stop this feeling but it just won't. My left arm & chest hurts all the time like a heart attack. I used to have low blood pressure so do not think I am having bp problems. My granny was sychitso. I want to stop this feeling. I am a very smart well education person & want to work & exhibit myself in a very good manner & show no signs of failure.

Call your Dr. TODAY. Ask for a call-back. You are certainly in a crisis. The medications are not adequately addressing your symptoms. Tell him your feeling that you "want to die"
Tell him about your chest &arm pain.!!!
Your psychiatrist needs to know this immediately.!!!
You have 2 beautiful children -- and you need some help at the momeont -- and they need someone who is stable to care for them for a few days until you can get your crisis under control, whether they stay with grandparents, or your husband takes sick leave to care for you all.
During a crisis some of a person's thoughts can run wild, and perceptions and conclusions can not always be trusted.
I don't know that there a "nervous breakdown" is a term with an exact meaning. It does mean that the person is experiencing a crisis in their life, where perceptions and emotions are running out of the ordinary. It seems to be a term used to lump many symptoms into one label.
After you call your Psychiatrist,
do let your therapist also know of your current crisis.
Your therapist may want you to come in for an additional session to assist you.
DO NOT STAY ALONE.

You need to continue therapy. If you really feel like you're going to hurt yourself, then you need to check yourself into a mental hospital. In terms of feeling unworthy, you also need to make a list of the good things about yourself. If you haven't seen a medical doctor recently, you should do that. You are worthy of being a wife and mother, and I think you can beat this with help from family and a therapist and a doctor. Maybe you should try different medications.
You don't sound schizophrenic to me.
Good luck to you,
Dana

Your anxiety is getting in the way of your ability to think rationally. Sound like some sleep deprivations issues also. You need to address the core of your low self-esteem. There is a lot of help available but it seems you haven't found the right person to click with. There are life coaches or neurofeedback therapists for anxiety, and psychologists available. You need to find someone who you feel comfortable with right away. There is a wealth of information available on my website below. Start by taking a look.

You have to believe in yourself that you are a good person and you are worthy to enjoy your life. First and the most important thing you have to learn and do is you have to love yourself! cherish yourself as your family love and cherish you. My English is not good but I wish you have a happy life, becoz every one in this world are worthy to live well, dont blame on the madness of yourself, madness can be cured but you have to work hard that means you have to be positive of your life.
I believe you can do it becoz you are brave to tell your feeling out to people u dont know, you are not a failure only if you let yourself to be...

Why are you being so hard on yourself? To show no signs of failure is not possible, you are human. What happened to you or what was said to you as you were growing up to make you feel like you aren't worthy of your life?
