I need help, if I keep having these visions of me harming myself and causing harm to someone else I am going to 1013 again.
I keep having envisioning myself doing harm by shooting a person or like recently taking a electric saw to dismember their head from their body, then taking a drill and boring holes in their head.
I laugh as I envision that I take a knife to my main artery or vein seeing the blood shoot as my heart beat.
My family already know that I want to cause harm to myself, but I didn't tell them about this because I forgot to take my med's today.
I hope and pray that I never carry any of these things out.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.

Or is this something else mixed in?
Does this happen when you are out of your med routine?
It seems you recognize tt this is not normal behavior.But it is very serious and triggering to those here. So if you can share some , maybe we can offer some methods to help.
I have seen you much more control than this. Your Bi-P meds need to be maintained.
Hows the job search going?
Whether it's the bipolar or intrusive thoughts which are more akin to "pure O" form of OCD I don't know.
We've had a number of members bothered by these and they are always the most horrific and often taboo thoughts that people get.
You might want to think about that 1013 again or if you can talk to a professional to get an opinion that would be good.
Not sure what meds they are but if they are a mood stabilizer type then one day missed will not be too much of a problem, just remember to take them in future.
You're welcome to come over to the bipolar board - maybe post in the crisis centre? You may find others have had similar issues and can give you some practical advice - although I suspect it will be to get urgent attention. You are probably not a danger to others but it is very distressing for you and I know previously you felt you were a danger to yourself.
I agree with fish though... On the BP board a lot of people have intrusive thoughts and it's a good place to find people who have 'been there'
I hope that you have sought professional help... Going into the hospital can be a great thing as we get help 24/7 and I have found that I know I was brought to stability so much quicker then a once a week appt
Another big hug for you and a blessing...x
