I HAVE RAPID CYCLING BIPOLAR WHEN I STARTED TAKING THE MEDS AND I WAS HAVING A LOT OF UPS AND DOWNS I BEGAN CUTTING WHEN I WOULD GET REALLY UPSET AND CRYING JUST WASN'T ENOUGH........I FELT LIKE I NEEDED TO BE PUNISHED....TO CHANGE THE PAIN EVEN IF IT WAS FOR A LITTLE WHILE..........MY COMMON LAW REFUSES EVEN TO THIS DAY TO ACCEPT IT HE THINKS U CAN JUST STOP!! THEN ONE DAY I TRIED BURNING........I'M GLAD TO SAY THAT IT'S BEEN CLOSE TO 6MTHS SINCE I'VE DONE ANYTHING BUT THE FEELINGS HAVE BEEN THERE AND VERY HARD TO SUPPRESS BUT LATELY IT'S BEEN OVERWHELMING AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE I CAN HOLD ON ANYMORE.............
