Try to calm your nerves. Try meditating. Control your breathing and try not to think. Just focus all your attention on your breathing. See if this helps. Do you have someone you can talk to? A counselor?

I'M sorry you feel the way you do! Please seek a psycHologist and consider anti-depressants! They saved my life! HUGS!!!

I am on anti-depression meds, have a therapist, and I see the psychiatrist on tues. I've tried all the coping skills that I've learned and nothing is working. Why does this always happen on the weekends when there is no one to help? I can see the fear in my family's faces. I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm scared of myself. I haven't self injured yet, but I know its coming. It is just a matter of when.

Try to stay in the moment. Take a hot bath. That helps me when I think I might hurt myself. I am sorry you're having such a hard time. I hope it passes soon.

Go to the E.R. Tell them just what you have said about the voices. You most likely need a med adjustment ar change. The sooner the better

ty all for yourconcern and advice. I did get to see psych dr. today. She changed some meds around and added an anti anxiety med. I go back in two weeks to see how these new med are doing. Also seen my therapist today. Surprisingly, she says that I'm making progress.

I do meditate and deep breathing exercises when my anxiety attacks come. I also do the hot bath.

I've also come to notice that when its my time of the month (sorry to mention that) that I get more depressed and suicidal to the point it is dibilitating. When I see the dr in 2 weeks I'm going to tell her and maybe something can be done about that too or she can direct me to someone who can.

Here is my best thought. ANY voice that is telling you to hurt yourself is lying. Do not listen to, or tell lies. Especially to yourself. Lying is not good for you or other living things.

You are the boss of you. You do not have to act on ANY voice you hear. If you need support, here we are!!! Look how many of us came to your call for help!

YOu want better feelings, you can learn here to think better thoughts.'
Better feelings will follow better thoughts.

This is what I say. Lying is not my bag. Gave it up after I was here in the community for a while.

You'd mentioned your noticing the coincidence of things getting worse around the time of your period, have you ever been evaluated for PMD..pre-menstrual disorder? It is a vary valid medical issue....I used to facilate a group specifically for this years ago when it was first recognized. It's not the same as PMS either.
I can't begin to tell you how many women have this disorder and sadly, it's not something that is even today, remotely taken into
consideration. Hormones can got very "out of whack" around that time and it is possible that's what's happening with you as well.
If neither your pscyh or primary has thought of this, I would only ask you to have them consider it as a contributing factor. Perhaps you would need to talk with a gyn dr. as well.
IF this is found to be the case, it can be managed!!!
I'm not a dr. nor am I "telling" you what to do, it's just when I read your comment the "bells" went off in my head.
I hope today is a better one for you!!!
