I've just found out that someone very close to me has had a serious nervous breakdown and is under the care of a team at the hosp. This is a term I take for granted but TBH, but as I've never had to think about it in detail, I don't know EXACTLY what a nervous breakdown entails....can anyone fill me in? ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

basically so stressed that they are unable to cope in their normal everyday life and have gone into crisis mode....and there are varying degrees of what a breakdown can be - from sitting watching tv all day, to being incoherent, to being mute and uncommunicative, to being upset at not being able to cope...
I am glad to hear they are getting help. Its a long path back for some people so BIG HUgs to you |

having a massive 'hissy fit' also counts, trust me!  I didn't realise I had a problem about 4 years ago until I lost it over something so small and starting throwing things etc out the window. Basically when the straw breaks the camel's back.
