Is there any such thing as a self distruction mode? Well I feel like i have one in my brain.Last night i was very drugged on a sleeping tablet and ended up taking a whole load of other pills,including two meds which shouldn't be mixed together.I don't even think i was trying to kill myself,just self harm.I don't even know what triggered me....i just have these compulsions to hurt or kill myself.Anyone get the same thing?

yeah, i do.

my suicidal compulsions are sudden and strong when they come on. i don't really get compelled to hurt myself, though. when i feel that way i'd rather just end the pain altogether.

hang in there tonight, okay? are you in a safe place, do you need anything?

My doctor knows.I am going to be diognosed next year,they don't know if I just have major depression or bipolar because i do get hypomania.I was hypomanic before the sudden strike of suicidal depression.

normally if you have hypomanic episodes along with severe depression they'll diagnose you as bipolar type II.

I did that by accident one night, it was a work night and my day at work really sucked the big one. I have never done that again so far.

    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...
