I Have Bad Mood Swings

I was feeling not too bad half an hour ago, and now I'm sat playing with my straight razor again. Sat pressing it against my legs, wrists and throat. Pressing hard enough to leave marks but not quite breaking the skin yet, knowing that all it would take is one quick movement and my hollow ground friend would part my skin like gossamer beneath its finely honed blade, as it has so many times before..

This is not a new feeling, it is now more often than not the situation I find myself in every day and every night. At times it comes totally without warning, like suddenly falling from a precipice, and at others slowly rolling over me like a thick black fog, seeping into every fibre of my being and smothering me in darkness

@MellyMel22 I know, but I hope you understand that it takes a special kind of trust to be able to really open up with someone about these things, and I find trusting people incredibly difficult and it takes a very long time to get to that level with me

@AlphaPuppy [i][c=#BF0080]I totally understand [/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 thank you
What are you doing about it?
I really don’t know your particular circumstances. At one point I had a care coordinator whose job it was...but he didn't do his job because he was overburdened with his caseload.

I can’t and wouldn't make you do anything, but I can tell you that for me, taking back the reins and being proactive on my own behalf was empowering.

The sad truth about mental health services is they have no vested interest in getting you well. Better, yes, but as long as you are ill they are raking in the cash from somewhere.

I really do wish you well. It can be a beautiful life. First step is to wanna.

@Mamapolo2016 part of my problem is the inability to do those things for myself and to proactively help myself. And yet any change causes me a lot of stress and distress especially if it's out of my control.. Also my neurological pathways aren't exactly wired up normally and certain things literally cannot be changed.. The joys of asbergers
Yes. I am fortunate, I know that. You are young and things are changing all the time.

Hang in there. Someday soon there will be a cure, or better meds. 😊
How does it feel when you cut ?

@NunIover I don't any more but it used to help a lot, I still have the urges but it's mostly eclipsed by the suicidal urges
