Have I had a breakdown?

leanne35

hi,

i was just wondering if anyone knows the signs of a nervous breakdown? My two boys are hard work on a daily basis with their autism. I do have anxiety but recently I've been highly strung, horrible to my partner, drinking more than normal and my behaviour has been irrational to the point where I think my partner is going to leave me. my boys are with grandparents tonight and my partner was so mad with me he stayed at relatives last night. Haven't seen him since. just feel like I've lost control over everything including myself!

  • You need some rebalancing in your life.  Do you get a break at all?  Have you enough support from family + services on a regular basis, not just when it gets too much?  It is so difficult when services are rationed.  You def need someone to talk to, to try + get some of your feelings out.  Talk to your partner calmly if poss, or another row might develop.  Have you a mutual friend who could be a go-between if you think things could end up in a row?   Imo it's not your fault, so please don't blame yourself, altho it's easy to do.  Have you got a carer's assessment.  It's worth doing + may entitle you to more breaks.
