Although chronic depression, family problems and health problems can contribute to emotional breakdowns, the leading cause by far is pressure and stress at the workplace. A change of job, a change of supervisor or a change of city in the same company can sometimes become overwhelming even within a short period of time. Also, in many cases, all of these factors combined together with the office stress scenario, contributing the most to it. It is thus very important to detach yourself from your work. If the stressful situations continue for too long, start looking for a change of job.
Closing your eyes from time to time is a great way to prevent an emotional breakdown.
5 of 5
One of the major triggers for an emotional breakdown is external stimuli. Within external stimuli, sight is one of the major triggers. It has been found in many studies that sight-related triggers are the final straw that trigger an emotional meltdown. Thus, if you feel you can t take it anymore or you are almost at a boiling point, sit back or go to another room and close your eyes for some time. Depriving yourself of visual stimuli will at least help you prevent or diffuse the episode.
