Sharing Our Innermost Thoughts

signs of a nervous breakdown… i can feel them within me right now. Like I just came inside the house and had a nervous breakdown. I cried so much. How do you know if a person has anxiety or is having a panic attack? What are the signs of a nervous breakdown that you feel? Is it just me who has stuff like this? When I search signs of a nervous breakdown I just find everything everything I am having. I feel like I am having a heart attack. It feels like the room is closing in on me and that my breath is always short or like the air never really reaches my lungs. All my friends tell me that it is all in my head but at the end of the day, it is me who is going through all of this. My parents tell me that I am going into depression but they can only comment. They don’t do anything to help me but instead just know how to comment and pull me down. Thank god I have a dog who helps me understand my signs of a nervous breakdown and warms me to calm down and breathe mindfully. This time my panic attack was triggered by my teacher who said something so rude to me. I am 18 and I try to study every day but yesterday I wasn’t feeling well because of which the teacher said that I was not being very serious about my education and that I was wasting my parent’s energy and money. What kind of a disgusting teacher she was!
