I have BP with meds for 15 yrs.

I get so mad some times I will punch things etc. But real anger is reserved for slicing my arms or pounding myself in the arms and face with my fists (i hit myself 25 times hard in the face today), or pinching/twisting so hard it will draw blood.

I seem to feel better after. i know its not healthy. i dont want attention and I dont want to die.

Dont give me any "GOD" copouts either . Not interested.

Answer:

I know a few people who have bipolar depression

I know a gal who is a cutter

the BP people - dont cut

the cutter doesnt have BP

There is definitely a link between the need to self-mutilate and bipolar disorders. Because of the severity of your self-mutilation behavior, you should consider seeing your doctor/psychiatrist who may adjust your meds. You may feel less like hurting yourself then.

I know what it's like, if you don't mutilate yourself you're suffering mentally and if you mutilate yourself you suffer only physically.

You are suffering deep inside and are doing something to make it stop but it does work only for a while. You need, believe me, you really need to go away for a few days, go away and think of it as an enlightening trip. You'll end up knowing what's the real problem with you and then be able to fight it.
