Breakdown

kathy, i’m sorry..

but there is nothing wrong with crying. but i see your point. do something to keep your mind off of shit. there must be a couple things that put your equilibrium back in balance.

mine are driving my car whom i love and beating myself over the head emotionally (which ultimately is probably not helping in the long run.

or maybe you’ve got someone that you wouldn’t mind “breaking down” in front of. mine are my dog and car, and i guess myself possibly.

are you seventeen, or just like the number seventeen? seven is one of my favorite numbers, which of course is unimportant.

try to do something to make yourself happy, maybe just write a little, or something.. maybe you should get a hamster. fred is a decent hamster name

Good Morning Kathy17,
Why stop at a breakdown….let er rip…why not have a breakthrough instead. When I feel it coming I try to warn my loved ones. I try to schedule my breakdowns…seriously…but it doesn’t often work out so well…but at least they get warning. I will say, “I’m either having a breakdown or a breakthrough…but something is gonna break….I just wish it would hurry up…don’t care which one it is …but I wish it would hurry. I’m even trying to control what cannot be controlled….my emotions.
I wish I could offer some help…but I think we only met briefly a week or so ago…as such…I don’t know enough about you to help. But I am here today if you would like to talk more. Let me know.
The truth is that there is no creation without destruction….so if there is something that is not right….this would be the chance to change it…you know a breakthrough. Sometimes it is just an answer to a question…sometimes a new way of accepting and dealing with something…but different. Doesn’t make much sense to have a breakdown if you’re not going to try to create something new.
In the end….I just wish I could take your pain for just a while…so you can look at your life for a moment without having to squint to see clearly through the pain. Let me know if I can help.

Namaste

Hey there theres nothing to be ashamed of if you need to cry why not try and find someome to share your pain with rather than hide it.i go see my sister and bawl my eyes out when im stressed it really helps and she does the same…kathy maybe youd get some help if you stopped hiding your true feeling my heart goes out to you take care…

I say there is a simple answer. Don’t keep up the mask at all. Keeping a mask is akin to lying. I would much prefer you go see someone, maybe not friends or family initially but maybe a school therapist or counsellor? And just talk to them to help ID your issues and how best to start solving them. Talking thru stuff can help a lot when doing it with the right people who are informed and understand.

If you can’t do that, then just sit down with either of your parents or someone close that you respect and admire, and ask to talk to them. Tell them what you have been feeling and that you don’t know how to solve your problems.

It takes courage to do that, but it would be a good start to getting better.

I wish you well.
