A raw look at surviving a severe mental breakdown. Learn how simple, daily choices become impossible when facing a crisis.
At 36, life felt impossible. This video documents my personal experience with a severe mental breakdown and the reality of living with suicidal thoughts. I share the specific moment I realized I was in deep trouble—trying to choose between coleslaw and potato salad at a grocery store, only to find myself paralyzed by the decision. This is not a clinical lecture, but a candid account of hitting rock bottom and the disorientation that comes with it.
This story is part of the Threads of Enlightenment series, focusing on the honest, often messy process of mental health recovery. By sharing this, I hope to offer perspective to anyone currently struggling or trying to understand what a genuine crisis looks like from the inside. We discuss the isolation, the confusion, and the small, painful steps toward clarity.
