I know that I'm not okay but have NO idea what is wrong with me.
All my life I've had an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other. I know my biological father is schizophrenic and my mother, well I'm pretty sure she has some sort of emotional imbalance, it's always up and down with her. I've always had peaks and valley's emotionally. I go from mellow to insanely angry in seconds and little things give me mini panic attacks. I feel like I have fought off some serious demons. I have really bad thoughts sometimes, just mean thoughts, judging people, not trusting people, pushing peoples buttons and stirring the pot when given an opportunity. I have no self esteem. I'm married to a wonderful man that puts up with my moods but I don't want my kids to have to deal with them the way we did with our mom. You'd never know what would set her off. I've got an addictive personality and due to drug/alcohol and gambling addictions on both sides of my family try to stay away from non positive addictions, so I have the ability to fight it off before it starts which is positive I suppose. Most recently though I've been able to do nothing but day dream/ or dream at night about other women, sexually. I am not gay, or at least i don't think so I love my husband and kids but I can't believe how realistic and how intense these fantasies are. It's all I can think about and now i've taken it a step farther by looking at sexy pictures of women on the internet and watching sexy lesbian adult videos. I just like the way it makes me feel, i like watching it and it has made my sexual relationship with my husband hotter. You can probably tell just by me writing this that i jump from thought to thought, i imagine i have some sort of adhd too, i'm way too embarrassed to talk to a professional about this or let anyone else know some of the things going on in my head. Should I be seeing a doctor? There is so much more.....teenage relationships that were abusive mentally/physically/sexually and other experiences that follow me around. Advice anyone?

I think that the thing to be tackled at source is the past abusive relationships (but I don't know how - does anyone else?) and at the same time don't lose touch with strategies that help you with your current way of acting and relating.

Don't worry about your feelings, they are sad and you need to accept your sadness, just don't get misled by them in your actions.

we cant tell you here whether you should do something about your life or not, or whether or not you should see your doctors. we are not there in your life with you so what we tell you could end up leading you wrong and into harmful situations that may not be right for you.

that said being honest here I didnt read the whole post. I just skimmed it, I do have an answer to your main question

If you have doctors go according to what they have told you to do about these things and when to go in to see them. if you have none

All the physicians and mental health community around here have a saying - if it bothers you then you should contact your doctors.

Hello jw,

Welcome to pc. I can imagine the fear this is bringing up for you. Is there epilepsy in your family? I really think you should see a doctor, ask to be referred to a neurologist and have some testing done.

Wow, so much going on.
You have made an important first step... Knowing yourself and where you may have challenges. We can't heal what we don't know is there.
Please keep posting. You will find a lot of support here. Personally I think that talking with a doctor would be a good next step, when you are ready.
