You pretty much need to talk about what is making you feel so upset. Its not bad I know sometimes I need a friend that I can talk to about anything and know that that friend wont tell a soul. I am so sorry you are feeling this way. You can go to counceling and learn some coping skills and ways to let out your anger and depression in a healthy way. I wish you all the best

when you have a mental breakdown, your body is raging with anger, fear, sadness, or whatever emotions you have. your heart rate is racing and your adrenaline starts pumping.
The first thing to know is self-control. you have to control yourself. First control your breathing. breath slow, in and out. After a while, count your heart rate for a minute. then try breathing slowly and deeply and try to get your heart rate down.
you have to control your mind. close your eyes and instead of thinking negatively and being a pessimist, think about all of the good things in your life. Think of the things that make you happy. For me- its the small things in life. being with family, friends, going on bike rides, photography, laughing and smiling. those are the things that make me happy. when I think of those things, I become happy.
then you have to control your body. Instead of slouching on the couch being angry at yourself, or on the bathroom floor crying.. you need to pick yourself off your feet and control your body. Go outside and ride your bike. or even just sit at the dinner table with a good posture and eat. Instead of folding your arms at your chest (which is a sign of closure) try keeping your arms at your sides. when you see someone you know, instead of leaning on 1 hip, stand up and give them a hug.
I know all of this stuff because someone I know has a hard time with controlling themselves and they always throw temper-tantrums and have mental breakdowns all the time. you need to control yourself. have respect for yourself and be happy :)

By helping you come down i will say , think about all the good things or good memories that you have in your life . And think about the future , your family and friends... Talk to some that's very close that you can tell most things to . Like one of your friends , mom , dad , close family member , etc. Jus take a deep breath and calm down ..
