Breakdown: what would you do in this situation?

[Anonymous]

If you tell a close friend and family you feel you're having a breakdowm but they aren't there for you, what would you do?

not sure what you're expecting them to do. there is not much they can do for you and they aren't in much of a position to help. also it's a lot to put on to another person as they can't fix anything. words don't do much either.

i would take this a step further and just go to a therapist to get it sorted. it's a lot healthier. i've had many breakdowns and eventually you just get numb to them, which is why my answer probably sounds so cold. i don't mean to sound cold as i've been in the same exact situation as you. don't let it control your life, please. things can get better.

I actually had a breakdown last year and few years back. I feel distant with them. I used to call my parents or my siblings. But now it seems they don't want to be bothered. I have retinopathy now and I just want to get on with whatever sight I have left. It's not really like anything good is coming my way.
