What kinds of thoughts? I get some... SI is intrusive when it happens. I also get random horrible thoughts about loved ones getting hurt and sometimes at night random worries about interactions I've had. Stupid stuff really...

It use to be that my daughter would get leukemia...my worst fear. I would think someone wood come in her room and take her. Now it's my fiance cheating...not loving me. It's so bad...if he chews gum..takes a shower before work, his phone buzzes. Us watching a movie with a pretty women. If we walk by girls. It consumes me every single day!

Not only is it part of BP, it contributes to many MI such as anxiety and depression. I hope you get better soon. They are not nice to have whatever it is.

I have them a lot. The thoughts usually come from nowhere and I feel like I am being attacked by my own brain.

Yup,
Me to I'm afraid
At the moment I keep thinking something terrible is about to happen... I wish I could just take a week's nap and wake up feeling happy and safe!
I just have to sit and wait until my increase in meds start making me feel level again.
I've also ruined the friendships with pretty much everyone I held dear. Thinking they were out to get me and mocking me.
But things will get better!!!
Well at least I pray so...

It's been a while but I thought the same thing about my friends out to get me. Even my sister, so I don't have much of a relationship with her.

I get really bad suicidal/homicidal ideation when I'm in a mixed state, and just suicidal ideation when I'm in a depressed state. I also get intrusive imagery thoughts about being attacked by random objects pretty much all the time.

I say the battle in my head, but I think attacked by my own brain is more like it.

Will an increase in my medication stop these thoughts?

I'm my own worst enemy. Seriously. I've only felt like ending *it* a handful of times. Mostly just ideation and the desire to make others hurt like me. Attention Whoring Drama Queens we can be sometimes

My Lamictal was upped and upped until this mostly went away. At 400mg it really affected my memory and my emotions were almost non existant. I'm tired of memory problems, so I tapered down to find a compromise range. I'm at 200mg. I went low as 50mg... and that was not a good situation.

I'd rather feel nothing than the paranoia I feel now...
Feel like finding a nice padded room with a baby blue straight jacket, and some happy music playing in the background. But my shrinks believe in tough love, so..... I'd be lucky to get a 3 week stay in a state facility and get a sponge bath by some rather unattractive woman nicknamed big bertha.......

I get them too. I get the most frightening thoughts. Of course I would never act on them, but they are scary because I thought of them!

Ending *it* isn't really such a great idea, it doesnt stop life getting any worse, it just stops all chances ofnit getting any better.. ive considered it for the last 15 years... But through my deepest depressions I have realized that you won't be spitting the people who don't like you, you'll be hurtingnthe ones that do... let's help each other get past that kak idea... shall we?

i get them as well. during mixed states, they are much more paranoid about people around me and that they will hurt me +suicidal ideation.
while depressed, I'll begin to get suicidal intrusive thoughts. it was only this past year that i have ever had intrusive thoughts involving wanting to hurt other people - it was so scary and so unlike me. talking them out and letting people know what's going on was helpful, as was medication management w doctor. when other people know that they are "intrusive", it helps to solidify the concept that they are not really coming from your own consciousness. good luck
