What is a nervous breakdown, and how do you get yourself out of it?

[MarkPayne]

What exactly is a nervous breakdown? And how to get yourself out of it?

[Simslover92]

A nervous breakdown is when you have hit rock bottom and there feels like there's no where to go. But you know the saying, there's no where to go but up once you've hit rock bottom. So you get yourself out of it by trying your best to climb back up and do your best to not feel as broken.

From what I've witnessed, it could be when an individual has a lot of problems, but no solutions. They may get to a point where their emotions boil over, and they snap, and possibly lash out at other people.

When your anxieties reach the point of intensity, where you stop to function.

I was taken out of it... before I went onto it? into it?
