See your doctor: The expression, "nervous breakdown" has been in use for more than 100 years. But it is not a defined or specific mental disorder. In fact, in his best-selling book published in 1976, "your erroneous zones, " dr. Wayne dyer asserted that "...[t]here is no such thing as a nervous breakdown." if you have problems managing moods, thoughts, or behaviors, your doctor can help you with self-management.

Upset: Sorry to hear about your daughter's difficulties, and i understand that this is upsetting for you. I don't understand the part about "has nothing my boyfriend." if you feel like you're having "a nervous breakdown, " it would help to work with a psychologist or psychiatrist about this. You can discuss your concerns, and move towards healthy responses and greater resilience. Be well.
