I've read the last two posts and I'm wondering what you mean by "dark thoughts"? Are you referring to suicidal thoughts or is it something different. My dark times are more about me beating myself up mercilessly.

I hear ya on trying not to be that way. It's hard, but I try to fight it by being mindfull of other people's feelings. Of course, I'm not totally good with that, but I try my best. That's all we can do right? I call it the battling of the demons.

What I was refering to in reference to "dark thoughts" is the fantacizing of not wanting to be living in this world anymore, if that makes any sense (basically suicidal thinking w/no plan). I have these toughts from time to time b/c I get tired of dealing with this disorder and finding no sense of relief in site. Sometimes these thoughts come out of nowhere. I have called my pdoc, left a message and haven't heard back yet. I'm going to call again tomorrow. I really need to get into see him sooner than expected. Aside from the thoughts, I have been cycling back and forth from hypomania to depression and it's driving me crazy at times! I'm almost considering checking myself into the hospital if it gets any worse or if my doc doesn't get back to me and I'm still struggling. I just can't take this crap any longer so much so that I'm overmedicating myself with Ambien as of yesterday to make me numb. I know that's bad, but this is one of my behavioral tendencies. When the meds aren't working and I'm symptomatic, I either drink too much or take too much medication to get some immediate relief. Hopefully my doc will get back soon or else send myself to the hospital? I dunno.

My dark thoughts deal more with my PTSD. Not really suicidal, but not the way I want to feel.
Cry HAVOC! and let slip the lemmings of war!

She turned me into a newt!.... I got better

I guess it's one fo those things that are different for everybody. My dark thoughts are most paranoia about people. I have fleeting thoughts of suicide occasionally too.

I can relate to the paranoia too at times. Sometimes I'll think that people are talking about me in a negative way or that people want to harm me (occassionally that happens). It's weird and I can't come up with a reason why that happens b/c it's irrational thinking, I guess that's just part of the disorder. But dark thoughts can be other thoughts too, it just depends on the person/disorder. I am just thankful that my dark thoughts don't involve physically hurting others (knock on wood!)
