In the desire to keep up with the dream, to achieve the desired, to buy "the same blouse / boots / car", to have time "like the Ivanovs", fly to Turkey-Egypt-Thailand, get a promotion at work and do not get better by a kilogram, we manage to keep track of everything , except your body. To him we usually just treat, as if to something eternal and bearable. Emergency lights light up in the head late, when we open our eyes one day and realize that everything annoys us, we do not want to get out of bed and the whole world, it seems, is against us.
What happens to our body? Yesterday the woman was vigorous and confidently resisted the negative and led the events around her, and now she is apathetic, withered or wants to cry. A woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
A nervous breakdown is a completely natural reaction of an organism to an overload (physical or psychological), like tears or fever in case of illness. The resources of the human body are great, but they are by no means limitless. Thus, the body tactfully hints at us that it would be nice to rest. If you give an output to this state, it, like the high temperature, will bring relief. It is important in this case - in this state not to get stuck, so that it does not become chronicled. But we'll talk about this later.
Symptoms of a nervous breakdown, that is, subjective sensations that a person can notice behind him, can be the most diverse in every person. Psychologists distinguish several common, usually manifested in everyone:
- mood swings from the imaginary-active to the sluggish-passive .;
- feeling of exhaustion, lack of strength;
- uncontrollable manifestation of emotions (rage, anger).
With prolonged repetition of such symptoms it is recommended to look at yourself: maybe you are on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

What to do with a nervous breakdown?
First - do not resist. Letting all these emotions go, letting oneself out of the state of "snake mittens," letting yourself breathe in and out inwardly.
If you feel that now "explode" - give vent to emotions. Psychologists recommend throwing something unbreakable on the floor or crumpling and throwing away a piece of paper. Perhaps weep.
Secondly - seriously revise all the cases that you have taken on yourself in recent times, and refuse (for a while) from half of them. It is more to walk in the open air, to allow yourself to rest and to arrange trips on nature at the weekend. Do not forget about sports, warm bath after work and massage. Drink warm tea with honey or hot cocoa, use all possible activities that bring you joy and help to smile.
Nervous breakdown in women - a fairly common phenomenon in our time. Therefore, many go to yoga or attend various cultural events. Enjoy yourself going to the theater or to the exhibition.
Thirdly , practice translating negative energy into positive energy through creativity. Perhaps you can write poetry or prose? Do you play a musical instrument? Draw or sculpt from clay? Try to draw in comic form all your failures, fears and fears, look at your life from the other side. This will help you not only to get rid of the constant mental stress, but also - who knows? - will open up your new opportunities and talents.
