Hi Mark and Rhys! It’s my first time reading y’all’s work, and I plan to read more soon ❤️.
Some quick things I want to share here!
1) I loved your analogy of a nervous breakdown ... “You’re like a car that’s broken down on the side of the road on a stormy night. You can’t fix yourself or just wait for the machinery to start working by itself.”.
For those who have truly experienced a nervous breakdown, there is nothing like it. It can be out of this world. And for those who have panic disorder specifically, true clinical nervous breakdowns are experienced much more than ever desired.
2) LET’s TALK ALCOHOL - As there were a few statements made that indicated to me that it would be a good idea for me to write an article about gabra receptors in the brain and how they interplay with breaking down and processing alcohol, AND HOW THAT PROCESS CAN CREATE MANIC NERVOUS BREAKDOWNS. And I am wondering if that was possibly part of your process here in this story? It can even happen from just 1-2 drinks!! It’s a totally shocking experience for those of us that have always been have to “handle” a few drinks.
As a quick personal sharing ... I used to indulge in alcohol, and now, after many years of hard work, I live a 100% sober life. But I feel that the universe lovingly (and aggressively) pushed me into sobriety by all of a sudden creating a shift in how my body processed alcohol.
When I was in my mid 20s, all of a sudden (what truly felt like overnight), any time I had even just 1-2 drinks, I would have a COMPLETE nervous breakdown that put me in the deepest of blackest holes for days on end. I was so sick (mentally, physically, holistically). After consulting with a psychiatrist, he theorized that the root of the issue was happening with the gabra receptors in the brain.
SO, without spending much more time talking about me or my story here, I would love to add value in insight for others concerning this fascinating scientific interplay!! It’s incredibly important because it can help us shift our storytelling about ourselves, and what’s happening to our body, in a way that is much more kind, clear and accurate!
So, thank you both for reminding me about the importance of this topic, and prompting me to write about this. I’ve made a note to write about this in the near future this year ⭐️ ✅.
