I witnessed a nervous breakdown today. At first I heard someone breathing heavily; I thought it was just someone with a blocked nose. Then the breathing got heavier, and then I saw her closest neighbor went over to calm her down. She cried for a bit, breathed heavily again and the cycle went on for quite some time until her supervisor came and talked to her.
I am thankful to God that I was not being tested that way. I've felt what she felt once upon a time and it was not a nice feeling. I am thankful to God for the strength that I have now, and I pray that He doesn't take it away for me. I am thankful to God for my family and friends, for having someone I can talk to when things go bad or awry. And I am thankful that, if and when I couldn't talk to my family or friends, God is there for me. Alhamdulillah.
