here where I live and work a nervous breakdown means you can not function ...you cant take care of your food, clothing shelter needs, hygiene... basically all you can do is sit there worrying, crying, sometimes to the point of not being able to stop crying without mental and medical intervention, anxious, jumping/startle reactions, sometimes even hallucinating due to not being able to sleep, eat or take care of yourself, a person here that experiences a nervous breakdown usually gets hospitalized because they are not coherent enough to even explain what is wrong because they are so mentally and physically unable to function.

what you posted in the first post of this thread we (here where I live and work) call...seeing red, an anger issue, an anger problem, getting so mad you just literally see red and cant see (mentally ) past the problem that made you angry.

I have gotten that angry before where anger just fills every waking moment. I diffuse it by going out on the lake with my boat. theres nothing like physical activity to take my anger out on, works every time. then when Im so tired and anger has wore down then with my therapist I address what ever it is that caused me to become angry, then if its a person that angered me I take it up with them in a calm and rational talk the problem out with them way.
