Causes of breakdown

This is me

I thought only weak people would have a breakdown.

What’s wrong with me?

I lost a job

I took voluntary redundancy, but over time I felt like I’d been pushed out – unwanted

Stopped feeling needed

Children grow up. It’s normal and healthy. But it left a hole

Lost people I loved

First a friend my age. Then a close relative. Then somebody stopped breathing in my arms

Got in debt

I lost confidence in myself. Then I lost control of my finances

Denied I had a problem

Despite leaving the cooker on all day, and the front door wide open

Eventually told my wife

It’s hard to convey how difficult and painful this was. I felt so ashamed

She found help

I’d never have believed it, but it felt so good to put myself in somebody else’s hands
