Am I on the verge of a nervous breakdown . . . a serious question.

I was noticing something tonight at work . . . .When I was doing my charting my hands were shaking so bad that I could hardly write. I have never ever noticed that before, and I am kind of worried. I wasn't too overwhelmed tonight, actually it was kind of nice! there was one point in time tonight when I had to deal with a very raunchy smell . . . .and ontop of that a psych resident that keeps her hands in her pants 98% of the day put her whole fist inside my mouth YUCK!!!!

I managed to vomit like 3 times tonight, but I dont think thats why my hands were shaking so bad.

Yesterday I was so overwhelmed and i did not shake at all. Keep in mind that I am 17 . . . and I'm not old enough to be shaking like that (lol),

I seriously do not know what is wrong with me, but I hear that that is what happens before a nervous breakdown. i dont want to have a nervous breakdown this young, but sometimes I feel like I could. Is this why I am shaking so bad???:imbar

Fine line, still, I think, Peeps. Denial is the subconscience saying no; supression is consciously saying no. Thus, I think making a conscious decision is best, so denial is worse; supression is better. Both still suck.

Yes, in that form denial would be experienced as normal behavior, and not be seen as a pathology by the afflicted.

Excellent clarity.

You're right. No wonder it's so hard to stay sane.

Everyone gets so upset into how they read into these bulletins. It can be a matter of how things are written and people get upset. I know that happens with the spoken word how much worse will it be in written form. I mean many times I have written in this board and it appears that no one is even reading my posts but I keep on plugging along and I don't take what people say as gospel. But I do know that people get thier feelings hurt badly by one simple change of a phrase. It is the holiday season, lets be nice to each other.

Mandy, I did the same thing for a time until I started taking Paxil. I had a anxiety disorder and that took care of the problem. Go to the doctor and let him know what is going on. I may be a small problem that is easily taken care of.

Just a thought. Years ago I had symptoms something like yours and found out I had hyperthyroidism. I was also shaky, emotional, irritable, cried alot. How are you sleeping? How's your appetite? Just another possibility. You really should just go see your doctor if the symptoms persist.
