Secretgalaxy, sorry to hear you have been suffering from thoughts of self harm. Many people with these kinds of thoughts also see a psychiatrist to get a diagnosis and meds. Staying on the meds keeps them on a balanced, grounded place. If the meds do not keep you stable, it is best to let your psychiatrist know as soon as possible so adjustments are possible.

Having a safety plan is important according to many doctors

Some people at PC will find a therapist will also help them sort out the roots of their life.

Getting sleep may be the single one thing that keeps me in balance. If you are not sleeping or having bad side affects, contact your doctor or psychiatrist and tell them what is happening so you can make adjustments.

Many people find compassionate, caring people here at PC. Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek. http://forums.psychcentral.com
