As part of the Âé¶¹Éç Headroom campaign, Video Nation explores why and how breakdowns affect peoples lives and how they come to terms with what's happened.
In these short films, contributors talk about how they have found ways to understand what's happened to them and how they can effectively live with their emotions.
