What consitutes a nervous breakdown?

[justbugged]

It good to take time to grieve. I am sorry that a number of people feel that they can post without reading all of the thread. I am certain with what you have been through in such a short time, that you are on the right track. I can relate to some of what you are going through, and I wish that you can find comfort, and hopeful dismiss some of these insensitive posters.

Thank you. I apologize for getting ruffled, I didn't mean to be rude. I am doing better this afternoon. My husband has asked me if I needed time off and I said I wish I could take it. He promised to do it all for me for a week if I needed. It's so great I have so many people in my life who are so helpful and supportive - I don't know why I feel the need to get ruffled about the negative things.

Guided meditation. Gah, I'll do that now. Shouldn't have put it off.

Ill get the diagnosis of PTSD confirmed/denied next week as well as ask for another blood panel just in case. I should be fine, but hey, we'll see.

I do appreciate the concern on my behalf; sorry if I sounded ungrateful.

Ooh this one was harder for me; I'm used to listening, not reading! But I got it.. I'm sure once I get used to reading and focusing a bit more it'll be even more helpful! It did a lot to calm me, thank you.

(yeah I'm a fast reader, even when relaxed.

I tried to do the breathing thing but I failed when I figured out I already breathe that way, haha.

Homey you were not the rude person here. Those that have not read enough of the posts, and the commented on limited information are the ones that have been rude.

I just read through all the posts.. i saw noone that was rude to Elizabeth at all..noone.
Folks were just giving her their advice..like they do in every thread, on any subject here.... noone said anything bad or disrespectful to her at all.. not once. I think you're jumping to conclusions and being rude yourself.. when others were just trying to be helpful to her.
I guess if you call that rude..

Telling me I have a serious mental disorder when I have seen forty-six deaths, twenty two of them human, in a four month period is actually really rude. Especially when auditory and visual hallucinations are exceedingly common (yes, they are) in people who have had to suffer through a lot of trauma. Maybe you forgot I spent two weeks waist-deep in infected flood water unburying bodies? Maybe you forget I had to kill my sick duck? Maybe you forget I saw two people die a couple days ago in a car accident and have to bring in the jaws of life? Maybe you forgot that I spent 3 days searching for a missing (and, at one point, presumed dead) friend for 12 hours a day because we lost our phone lines and his house was underwater the entire time. Maybe you forget just before all this I had my wedding and never had my honeymoon because this started. There's also a good chance you forgot my entire town, everything I know, everything I've come to love... was literally washed away and down a mountain. People I knew, places I visited, entire CITIES I lived in - are gone. All around me, every day, I have to drive through it ALL EVERY DAY because it's STILL not cleaned up. My town still even has boards over all the windows of every building. Each week we get excited because one more shop opens.. and each week we cry because one more small business we knew and loved is never coming back.

I've lost people, pets, my entire city, my home (to victims) and yes, even a little bit of my mind.



But you know, according to you, I'm psychotic - couldn't POSSIBLY be stressed.

Yes. You were rude. If you didn't want to be rude, you could've been MUCH more delicate in your wording. Your wording was horrendously insulting.

Thank you for your participation.

Folks in the rules we discourage TMI
8. Do not post overly personal information like your phone number, address, age (especially if you are a minor) or any other personal info you don't want the whole world to see.

When personal issues are put out on the clothesline, opinions and advice will come in all shapes and sizes. That is the risk and it causes hard feelings and anger and drama.

That's why TMI on the internet is not a Good Thing.
