With them, I only have sui thoughts when I'm really depressed or am triggered. They're more like a defensive mechanism, whereas, they used to plague me.

Also, does your sh ever turn out to cross the line and become sui? I struggle with that. My ex-Pdoc was actually the one who noticed it. When in a crisis, the line between sh and sui blurred. Just might be something to keep an eye on

I know you said you haven't been able to identify what if anything triggers you. Have you tried mapping your symptoms? Like a timeline of what thought, feeling, or action leads up to a crisis. Sometimes it can progress slowly. Sometimes it might go from 0-60 in no time. L had me plot my symptoms and it's helped me recognize when I'm in a crisis and at what poi t I'm at. Then I can do something about it if I recognize it soon enough.

Hi @ScarletPimpernel yes, I'm on meds. ADs and APs ADHD meds and anti anxiety meds. No, I dont know if they are working. I've been on so many meds and med combos. My Pdoc says its treatment resistant. But we just keep tweaking things to try to make it work. I'm seriously considering something different like neurostar or something if my insurance will cover it because I've been suffering since I was nine, medicated since I was 18. I haven't tried the mapping thing. I will ask regular T about it. Thanks!! Hugs Kit
