Just to clarify, I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety/panic disorder. I take Welbutrin SR, but admittedly I have a hard time keeping up with it due to an inconsistent sleep schedule.
Lately I've been....somewhat paranoid....I guess you could say. In social situations I'll constantly feel like I've probably done or said something wrong, or that I didn't say something I should have, or I talked for too long, etc. etc. And then I feel a sense of...well....despair. It's this heavy feeling in my chest and I feel like I just left my body. Occasionally I'll go into a panic attack. Recently they've been getting worse and worse. And about 3 weeks ago I started going into panic attacks where I'd come out of them I wouldn't know where I was or I'd be somewhere different or have done something without realizing it. I can faintly remember, but it doesn't seem like it was me. Like a thought that was in my head, it doesn't feel like I acted on it, but I did.
I didn't say anything for a while, but earlier yesterday I came out of a panic attack and I had cut myself, rather badly actually.... From what I can see there's 16 cuts. 3 on my left arm, one on my side, 4 on my left leg, and 8 on my right leg... This was at, what should have been, an enjoyable weekend convention....
I'm not sure what to do... I tried to act like it was normal, but I'm really scared... I don't feel like I can talk to any of my friends or family about it.... But the cuts really hurt and I'm afraid of something like this happening again...
I've never cut myself before, because I know it's stupid. So I don't know why I did this, and it doesn't feel like it was me... I don't want to commit suicide, I'm scared of dying more than anything... But often I'll find myself so confused and overwhelmed that I just want to curl up tightly, close my eyes, and disappear... like I never existed in the first place...
