Nervous Breakdown

I had one when I was 16 and dropped out of high school.

I'm kinda afraid I'm gonna have another one right now.

My work is online so they don't know how I work in fits and starts, making up for being distracted for hours by other things with rapid catchup. But I have missed a meeting, yesterday, and I feel like I'm going to lock up, out of control, too much to try and do, I can't do any of it I want to stop. I don't like my job and we're getting more micromanaged all the time. I have an event tonight, another this weekend, lots of errands and work to do. just a little panic mixed with flat and before that upset.

I work almost 60 hours a week, 7 days a week, or at least that's what I'm supposed to do. I get so distracted by therapy, house business (we just moved, we're having all kinds of massive repairs I have to oversee and coordinate), tv, anything.

I feel trapped. I only get 5 days off a year, no sick time, I can't take time off very well and RIGHT now is crazy busy.

Summer's started and my kid is home.

I'm not sleeping probably as much as I should and I'm having a lot of volatility around therapy right now, upset about it, can't keep calm, it's a mess, even my therapist was under the psychological weather Monday, said she had major transference that we tried to talk/work through yesterday but it's just not resolving... I just feel out of sorts with her.

I feel unconnected from my husband, like we're just... two people stuck together for convenience and

I don't know. I feel... jumbled.

I agree I think you are smart to be aware of what is happening, but usually when one is aware, the thing feared does not happen. Not perfectly but usually. You see the red flags and know it is time for some kind of helpful changes for you.
