Why all of a sudden am I thinking of suicide? I have NO plans to hurt myself at all, but just the topic alone is in my head.


Posted by DavidBrooks

I have no intention of hurting myself.  I just for some strange reason have the topic of suicide in my head.  It freightens me because maybe I'm subconciously thinking about it, but I am NOT!  I am stable with my meds..600 Trileptal, 400 Lamictal and 300 Welbutrin XL. I get plenty of exercise, (marathon runner), and have a wonderful family...just very concerned.

I think that every person that suffers from bi-polar disorder has a subconcious suicide plan even when they have no intention of carrying though with it.  I have always had one, and I have no intention of ever going through with it and I think of it when my life is going well.  I think it might even be some kind of subconsious fear of going back to the way things were before.
