Value yourself. Your value does not come from others' acceptance, or

from their admiration.  Your value comes from your very nature.  You are a unique flower amongst the many.  If others don't value you, it is their blindness.  If you value yourself enough to demand respect, it will come.  (You may or may not get admiration, but if you get disrespect, don't stand for it.  It will just drag you down.)

I think you asked a couple of good questions...people fear a breakdown because they don't feel safe, that they cannot handle whatever happens...or cannot handle the real truth that could emerge. Yet it can be so revealing, and even a positive experience.

you can get through it

I don't know what percentage of these blogs are inspired by first-hand experiences. But, this one feels like it. First-hand experience taught me, that writing brings you through it looking unscathed anyway. If a person can still find reason to smile, laugh and pray with confidence, life is good.

Breakdown

Good use of the words to describe what we feel inside.  Stress can kill.

Maybe it is time for changes or a vacation rest.

Straightforward

Interesting post and well-worded...I live with a man who broke down 14 years ago; really, really broke down...meaning, he lost all his coping mechanisms and it was a good and a bad thing.  I had a break down three years ago and stayed broken for about a year and it was a good thing.  So, it just all depends...but, just remember that the reason it is called a breakdown is not because of how other people see you so much - which is what I thought before I had one - but because of how you feel; you are a broken person.
