So ... have you ever have one of these? I am sure the continuum is quite broad. Flippin' out to straight delusional is a good range. I'd like to hear from a few people ...  What happened? How did you come back? Did you come back?

I was out of it last year--working out, running, lifting .... and taking waaaaaay too many supplements--NOX, protein, creatine, Red Bull-- when one day I woke up all freaked out ... what a fucking day. My homeostasis just snapped, went out of balance and started acting silly. I sweat out the crap for over a month and came back slowly but surely. Never get too into supplements.

I used to get that way when I'd wash a Stacker2 down with a coffee and then hit the treadmill.  All sorts of fucked up and plenty of power-booting.  I wasn't sure if you meant physically or mentally tweakin' out.  Having done both my answer is sleep it off.  Clears your head a little bit.  Not being able to sleep is why the baby jesus invented ambien.

after divorce #1 i wasnt myself until 6 months after divorce #2.  now, just two weeks ago i was really losing it.  work was out of control, i was working around the clock, not sleeping added to the usual level of intensity that i am at left me on the brink.  i remember telling regina on the phone that i didnt think i was going to make it through the weekend.  she talked in me, reminding me of our honeymoon, swimming with the dolphins and relaxing.  it worked.  i did make it, i may still get fired for something that happend that week but she did make it easier for me.   i have breakdowns pretty often.  i just cannot take the bullshit of people anymore.  period.

I have these quite frequently as of recently.  I just get freaked out or start to break down.  It's crazy stress related stuff.  I think it has made me like Ron and Fez even more as of lately.

I had some panic attacks for a few months, but like 2 or 3 in half a year.  Nothing like that in years.

Does a crack addiction count?  If it does, then the answer is yes.  <img height="176" src="http://uncyclopedia.org/images/thumb/6/61/Tyrone_biggums.jpg/180px-Tyrone_biggums.jpg" width="180" border="0" />Ah the 80's...heady times.

When i was 16 i went into the hospital for a little "vaca". Looking back i wouldn't even call it a legitimate "breakdown" perse but there was serious manic depression at play.Almost 6 years later and i don't suffer from it as bad, if at all but i do find myself crying uncontrollably from time to time just to "let it out".

Between the ages of 10 and 12 I had to bury 2 grandpa's, both great grandparents, my next door neighbor who was a surrogate grandma, and my father. I went through a 'stage' where i even frightened myself. Only a very recent revelation, an epiphany if you will, finally settled it and clarified things. a 26 yr breakdown? No, but a 26 yr headache...oh yes.

Reeshy ... bet on Old Hoe for me in the fifth.  Stugots, I know what you are saying. Fez's obsessive stuff strikes a cord ... for many of us.  Sadly, but honestly, it is cool to know so many of us have had some sort of break. When I "broke" there were ony a few people there who understood, Reeshy, Pope Benedict ... no wait ... that was another time. Actually, only a few people were cool when I was in need. It is amazing how some people will hold you up while others will close like wolves.

I might have had a breakdown yesterday. I told my boss that I felt like dosing myself with some peyote and wandering into a nearby forest since we have no deserts that I know of in NY. All he could say was "Are you alright?"

Break downs are normal. All ya need is time, alcohol, drugs and sex to get over it.

Certainly was in a bad place this past March.  I was drinking pretty heavely, at the end of 20 days there was 35 pints of Jack lined up in my living room.  I got myself into a place where I actually started to believe those bottles were art.  Why did I get myself into this sort of place?  A year and a half i dated this girl, and I come home from work.  I can not believe she thought I was coming home late, or some weird shit.  She couldn't be that stupid, she probably didn't care.  I walked into my bedroom and there she was a center piece to a wobely H.  Anyway the sight of her mouth full sent me into a spiral.  Worthless Cunt.

I never understood what "mental illness" or "clinical depression" was until the events of 9/11.  That was a really dark and devastating time in my life.  I was a mess.  I didn't quit my job, I just stopped showing up.  I didn't leave the house unless it was night time and I could go get drunk.  It took a good 5 or 6 months for me to get myself right again.

Ever Have a "Breakdown"? Many times since I have been on this godforsaken rock. I mean it is a nice place to visit and see and what have you. But not serve on for two years, especially being 30yo and being treated like a 18 yo merely cause of rank. Many times I come close to my breaking point, just loading up on pills and alcohol, but yet there is always some redeming quality to carry me along. Something that keeps me from going through with it. It has however given me a reputation as being something of a genius brute who will discuss subjects with you and next minute smash your head against a rock for no apparent reason. Not that I would do that to anyone I know. Many a weekend when I have to be back 'on time' it gives me a reason for breakdown. But for the most part it is when I stay in and avoid people for the week that causes me to go nuts. I become chatty Cathy cause I am locked away for such long periods of time. No one knows the true definition of isolation till they serve a couple of years on Kadena AB. Nothing but great times. So sign your sons and daughters to indentured servitude. Lord knows I am not feeling a bit suicidal and depressed now.
