Mildred,

Try not to worry about what he said about a breakdown. That is a word that is used popularly, but doesn't really have a professional definition. So he might just not be accepting the term. Since people apply that term however they like, it can refer to having any mental health problems at all.

You'll be okay. Talk to us whenever you need to, or want to.
