I am a 21 year old female. It never fails that I'll just have a breakdown. Each day it happens.. I just get overwhelmed and begin to cry over nothing. Its driving me crazy and pushing away the people I care about most. What's going on with me?

You should see your doctor and explain this to him (or her). Have a complete physical to rule out anything physical going on. You may be experiencing a type of depression or the beginning of mental exhaustion. You are not going to know until you have sought medical help. Be honest with your doctor, ask as many questions as you can think, as you want to have the right treatment.

Sometimes all this is is a response to stress. But you are not going to know until you have medical treatment. Good luck to you.

Do you have reasons you breakdown? The loss of a loved one, too much stress, etc? Or is it just a breakdown for no reason?

You could have a wide variety of disorders or nothing at all. You should talk to your doctor and possibly a psychologist about your concerns. Some things you might want to research are stress disorders and depression.

My partner used to experience this. The reason for her break downs was because she never talked to anyone about the bad experiences she had in her past and tried to deal with it all on her own. She is now on anti depressants and is seeing a counsellor regularly. I agree with shy, you should speak to your doctor about this.

Good luck!

I think you should go to your family physician right away! Your doctor can give you a proper referral.

If you are anywhere near a Network Chiropractor--go check him or her out... you can also find info at websites for network spinal analysis (nsa). I did it just to try it, but I have been going for 2 years now, and I don't have any kind of freak out or anything anymore. The chiro doesn't physically do an adjustment... they use your meridians, and energy fields to bring out any inside issues that can be causing your breakdowns... it also helps with everyday life, and value of life. I swear by this chiropractic technique... if it is any help.
