    Sup, guys!

    My mental health hasn't been well the previous months and small things can cause me big stress.

    Two days ago I was trying to use an equipment for work but the touch screen of it was very difficult to use, this equipment was expensive and that started freaking me out. I live with my mother but she wasn't home, I called to tell her I was having a breakdown, as I usually do when that happens. She was going to walk home but I didn't want her to do so because it was late and the streets are not safe at that time.

    Anyways, I started breathing and began to calm myself and made plans to go to a maintenance shop the next day. Took double the dosage of my sleep medication, started feeling very relaxed and slept until verly late.

    Next day I went towards the maintenance shop and was praying on the way for GOD to help me so I could help others who need food and dignity. When I went to test the equipment at the store, it was back working PERFECTLY!

    I think this was a test of faith, indeed GOD is preparing me to become a king, as my guardian angel had told me.

    So I took a day off yesterday, did some running, went to the bakery to buy soda, sweets and snacks. Despite the stress of that day, I didn't relapse. I've been on my streak for like four days, I think (not really counting).

    Today I woke up early and I'm back working knowing the MOST POWERFUL is on my side.

    'You will be a king, you need to get ready', those were the words of my guardian angel.

    What you describe doesn't sound anything like a breakdown to me. It sounds more like you have anxiety. Perhaps you have a diagnosis of generalised anxiety disorder(GAD)?

    Yes, I have GAD and I believe I had a panic/stress attack that day.
