OK So something v.werid happened to me last night...it was like i knew it was coming because i got this big feeling of pressure in my brain and then i went home and i was just looking around the room thinking of ways to kill myself like "oh i could burn my head in that fire" or "i could drink that nail polish". i drew on my arms in red pen to make it look like cuts and wrote weird things on my arms like "PERFECT" and "ONE DAY I HOPE TO FLY". I rang the crisis team and was in hysterics crying. Then i couldnt stop shaking or rocking and i was hanging on to my door saying "i cant, i cant" but i wasnt making any sense it was like i was totally psycotic at that moment. Then all of a sudden i felt discusted at my skin and started saying i dont like my skin i even considered burning it off with a lighter. Then i went over to my mirror and started crying saying "someone come and save me" over and over again. Then i had a drink and went to bed crying.

for that moment it was like i was possesed nothing could calm me down and i wasnt making sense at all. what was going on? has anyone else experianced anything simmilar? whats wrong with me.

" When i'm really stressed, i have episodes where it feels like i have a million thoughts screaming @ me from inside my head, i litterally get a headache from it, and i usually crouch down against the wall or a door and hold my head really tight, and i wanna scream back sooo bad but i don't wanna make noise & have ppl see me like that & thinking im crazy...hence which is why i started cutting...every now and then i get that feeling tho... but i havent given in...yet "
