hi tina,
I think I'm beginning to notice a pattern in your moods. The highs don't keep going, you know that song, 'What goes up, must come down' or is that the law of gravity (excuse my silliness). Anyway whatever it is, it works for moods too. Sometimes, many times, I wish psychiatrists would err on the side of hyperthymic more often.
Well I'm sorry you have to experience these feelings of wanting to hurt yourself. I have too. Even though I knew too, I didn't really want to hurt myself. Maybe they are closer to obssessive thoughts that produce alot of guilt and shame. I would try not to take them too seriously-it just makes things worse for yourself. That is unless you begin to have impulses to act on them.
Maybe some mood stabilizers would help Tina. My pleasure to listen. I strongly dislike therapy also. I hope you keep a mood journal.
I hope you have a good psychiatrist Tina,
take care and let us know how you are doing, Janice
