Hello... I've been in and out of the hospital for the past month and a week ago the Dr. started me on Seraquel. I immediatley noticed a differance, my mind slowed down and I was able to indentify my thoughts and better deal with them. It was pretty amazing, but I have not yet been diagnosed with with Bi-polar disorder. All the symptoms seem to fit, which brings me to my question....
What are peoples experience with "Dark" or "Bad" thoughts that I've read are associated with Bi-polar disorder???
My thoughts seem to center around me hurting other people, for example, people who are talking to me nicely, including family members. I'd never hurt anyone, but these intrusive thoughts are very difficult for me. I've experienced thoughts like this all my life, but I've always assumed they were associated with a head injury I had when I had when I was 16.
Anyhow, anybody have any input on this for me??

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
It makes me feel badly that I have the "bad" thoughts about someone who is helping me. I wonder if they are from not being able to express myself, when I was a child, or if they are just real thoughts i have about a person and don't know how to express them to that person; like resentment or anger.
I mean these are bad thoughts about some people who are helping me and being nice to me. It sucks.
