    Am I bi-polar? Do I have a mental issue?
    Okay so I am 13F.

    And I have depression/anxiety/and frequent mood swings. I have slit my wrists due to anger. I daydream about killing. Without a path. I have been taking medicine for it but it doesn't work. I can't trust any one because in my mind everyone wants to harm me. I do almost everything to harm me... smoke, cut, aimlessly walking. I am constantly trying to cause me pain. When people make me mad I want to hurt me instead of them. I don't know what is keeping me from going all the way... But I see and in the future I will be dead. I already know how I am going to commit suicide.

    No one believes me. Everyone thinks I am doing this for attention and I am not. I am shy and I dislike attention.

    Help me please!

    And don't be rude I get enough of that already!

    And if it doesn't work, then why aren't you telling your psychiatrist that? So your medications can be adjusted or changed.

    Yes, you have some type of problem, and if you are not getting professional help you need to.

    Only 3-5 months... then he is still working on finding the right medication and dosage for you yet. With these you don't change them overnight because their effect grows with time... and a you don't get an immediate reaction. SO while it appears painfully slow... there is a reason for that. And changes may take a month or more to see how its going to work. As I said... because results are not immediate. And going too much too soon can be more dangerous than not enough.

    Are you meeting with a counselor or therapist for chat sessions at least twice a week?

    Five times in one week? What happened?

    You MUST find another therapist.

    Years isn't the case... months likely... maybe by the one year mark they will have it figured out for you.

    Seriously... no two people respond the same way to the same medicines... so there will be dosage changes and even medicine changes before they find what works best for you.

    I didn't do this personally.. but a very close friend did a few years back... they have her very well controlled now. But it was really rocky that first year.

    I see. You'd rather get enmeshed in drama than do something important and helpful for yourself.

    Please don't be rude :)

    I try... You think I want to be like this?!

    Whenever I ask for help there is always at least one person that has to be rude...

    I made a strong suggestion (because I am a therapist), and you brushed if off very casually. So what am I to think?

    No, I don't think you are trying at all, OR you are VERY trying...

    I'm still wondering how you got away from the care of the first therapist.

    I don't know who you are... For all I know you could be a pedo...

    I am just trying to get some help that is all...

    And you don't have to help if you don't want to...

    I don't want to up anybody's life...

    I really, really am a therapist. And I am trying to help, but you have shot me down ever since I started.

    Now, let's start over. Why can't you find another therapist? That's very important while your meds are being figured out.

    Okay... Clean slate

    I am afraid. I can not trust anyone--not even myself--every one is trying to harm me...

    All the more reason you need to find a therapist and work that out.

    Has anyone harmed you so far?
