Is my dog having a psychotic breakdown?
It is obvious that someone or something has scared and possibly harmed your dog. Is it outside in general that he is afraid of or just the back yard? Does your neighbours have kids? Do they tease your dog through the fence? Ask your neighbours if anything has happened that you are not aware of. Is there any construction going on around your home? This sounds like something that happened to my dog many years ago when she was a puppy. We were renting a basement appartment. One night we came home and found our dog cowering under the bed. She would alwasy come to the door when we got home so we knew something was wrong. She screamed when we tried to get her from under the bad. She would refuse to go outside to the bathroom, therefore she would go in the house. I later found out our landlord had come into the appartment when we were not home. He had scared our dog so bad she had peed at his feet. Then he yelled at our dog and smaked her. She was scared of him and wouldn't come out of the appartment incase he was there. Needless to say we moved right away. You need to raise your dogs confidence. It is something I had to go through with my dog, and it made me want to become the behaviorist I am today. There are a few things you need to do. Frist, find out the reason he is acting this way. There is always a reason. If he is scared of going outside then something happened outside. Next you need to start "Amichein Bonding" It is a process that establishes you as the 'leader', and being the leader your dog will feel comfortable in your protection. With you to protect your dog, he will relax and regain his confidence. For More help email me at: thepetproject@zoomshare.com P.S. My dogs are Border Collies too
I suggest you visit an eye doctor. I've had what's called "floaters." This is nothing to worry about.Doesn't sound to me like you are psychotic.It's important you stay social, and talk to your friends about your unusual thoughts and experiences. Friends who are loving and objective, not judging you.Going to a doctor or psychiatrist, like others have recommended here, is not a track I would take. These people are making money from your doubts about yourself, not necessarily helpful or truthful.If you do find a professional for therapy this can be good. But they must be entirely on your side and follow your lead, not the other way around. During the therapy, you should be learning life skills, too. These are very difficult to find and usually very expensive.
Am I having a psychotic breakdown?
On Friday two weeks ago I had a very frightening experience, and I still don't feel right. That day I woke up feeling fine, and I was fine when I went to bed the night before, but by 11am I was completely consumed by the idea that nothing was real. It was like the only truth, it was screaming at me, "None of these people are real! They're just hallucinations, they're part of your imagination. You made them up because you're so lonely. Touch them, see if they're real." I was disorientated and confused, I had a constant turmoil of internal dialogue thinking, "Oh God, am I dead? Are they ghosts?" I was hearing scratchy, far away voices commenting on everything I was doing as I was doing it. I was shaking all over, and felt very stressed. I was sweating and tense, like on the edge of a panic attack. I was having hard trouble recognising my surroundings and people around me, I could look at them and their faces but as soon as I looked away I completely forgot what their faces looked like. Their voices were distorted, and when people looked at me their faces went into shadow. When I looked at my surroundings, it was like tunnel vision. One thing would stand out and it looked like it filled the room in amazing detail. I was very scared, I thought maybe I was dying! I couldn't think, I couldn't read or write properly and I struggled to get a sentence together. I have gaps in my memory, I'd travel from one room to another and remember nothing except the mental agony I was in. I was on the edge of tears, I eventually forced myself to go and find somebody to talk to. Even though it's most likely they were unaware of my situation, just having a normal conversation was calming me down. I was completely hysterical for four days, that Friday being the worst- but I still don't feel normal. I can see movement on my peripherals when there's nothing there, I'm hearing voices and occasionally I'm still convinced nothing is real. What's happened to me? Will I ever be the same again?...
Am I having a psychotic break?
First, many who read this will think it is a prank.. Maybe you have not matured enough to be responsible for things like this? NOW... If this is really real to you.. the only one that can help is God,, if all these things are happening, you are demonized and only God could help. The Old testament showed that when things happened that could not be explained, they would call on a Prophet of God,,, Not a Seer which were outlawed in most times! But after Christ was born.. we know, called a Prophet and many other names.. accused of Blasphemy and other crimes., but it says He was innocent of all of these! But He got others, even those that accused Him, to admit, He was the Son of God! He is as real as all Creation, or if one wants, all things that are! Now, if this is not a silly prank.. pray this: Jesus, I want to know you for real.. I accept ALL Your sacrifices and ask you to deliver me from this curse. I want You in my heart forever! Please forgive what I have done and cleanse me always.. In your name I ask.. Amen
Psychotic breakdown, I think...?
I have suffered from depression and anxiety attacks for the past few months. This is due to quite a few reasons, which I won't go into, but one of them is a chronic disease which I have suffered from since I was a small child. This morning, I had some kind of breakdown. I've been having suicidal thoughts all week. I was stressing about going to school, and my mum told me I had to go. I just started screaming at her about how I was going to kill myself, and how I knew how I was going to do it. I went nuts, and I think I finally got through to her just how depressed I am, but now, I don't know what to do. Should I check myself into the hospital? See a therapist? What? I'm afraid it's going to happen again.
I think i had a psychotic breakdown??? Can you tell? ?
Earlier this month, around March, April, May it was the really really hard time of my life.. around those months was the time where i felt like breaking down, like crazy! Im soo confused, i don't know what to think, my mind is thinking like this and then like that and then another and another and another.. I just don't know what to think that time.. It was actually near my breaking point.. i just don't know what to do anymore.. that was the first time that, that happened to me.. i questioned everything about me, i don't know if a new self-conscious me evolved i just know that it wasn't me because im thinking soo much and i feel like a different person... has anyone felt that?? psychotic brkdwn huh?
That’s a complicated question. I know signs that I get usually a week or so before a break. The last ones I’ve had were years ago so I don’t know for sure. But it usually starts with anxiety. I had a horrible break about slenderman trying to kill me. This started from sheer panic upon discovering slenderman. I was younger, very unstable, and had processing issues with determining what’s real or not. Obviously slenderman isn’t real. It’s a foklore, but I really thought it was real in my kid brain. I was so terrified my brain just broke. I didn’t know I was having an episode while in it.More recently I just get anxious, not like my usual anxiety that makes my heart flutter. An anxiety that affects my stomach and makes me not want to eat food or take my meds. If I don’t take my meds and stop eating it will cascade until I’m so anxious I’m on the verge of a panic attack. And that’s when it would strike.Try to pay attention to emotions that you are uncomfortable with and try and filter the cause, span, etc. You will learn how to tell when you’re going to have a break.

I think i had a psychotic breakdown??? Can you tell?
Yes you do sound as though you have, or are, experiencing some sort of nervous breakdown. You should go to your doctor asap, they will guide you in the right direction and will enable you to take some control back over your life and your mind again before you lose the plot completely (which is a possibilty) Its up to you, i hope this gives you some sort of reassurance. Edit: I too have experienced severe mental unstability and i know that it is a very serious matter even if it seems to be of small significance. At the time i wasn't aware that i was actually going into an acute psychosis, but when i look back at all the things i got up to and believed it was strange behaviour indeed. Fortunately i got help just in time before doing something really crazy!
