Warning signs of a breakdown


Major life events - Feeling rejected

Imagine feeling rejected by a person or group

What if really a major relationship breaks down - with parents, partner, boyfriend or girlfriend? Or maybe a group that is important to you shuts you out. It's painful and lonely and you may feel anxious, and sometimes worthless.

Perhaps no one listens to you – then you feel that no one cares. This may not really be happening but it feels that way and it hurts.

You may feel angry at the world and even stay away from the people you know. You could also be angry with yourself and end up criticising yourself.

Thinking too much about it - which a lot of people do - can confuse you as well.
